As it turns out, blogging is harder than it looks. Like laundry, grocery shopping, and "swiffering" — a new verb a la Googling — there's always more to do and the longer you let it go, the harder it is to get back to.
General update is that every day my energy level increases — physical and mental. Tasks that seemed monumental like sorting through and paying my hospital bills or wading through and filing paperwork on my desk are now complete. Fueled by coffee and supported by the warmth and generosity of Sally and Katherine, I not only made it through but also enjoyed a long meeting with a new client. Chemo may have killed a few brain cells, but what's left is enjoying the stimulation!
Speaking of killing cells, today I go to the radiation oncologist for a CT/SIM — a sophisticated body mapping process that locks in exactly where the radiation beams will hit me. I'll fill you in later, but chances are I'll start my first of 32 radiation sessions next week.
Finally, all you folks that write emails and make phone calls in response to my blog...are you shy? or just blog-naive? Anybody ever going to post a comment? C'mon...let's get interactive.

Hey Shelly,
First, I am glad you are doing well and getting through this unfortunate "small blip" in your life. Second, I should have called, but being a Nurse I don't want to invade your privacy and besides...you must be sick and tired of talking about it (I know you, you just want to move on). Soooo, thanks for putting up the blog. Now I can keep track of your progress without bothering you. But know...I think of you each day and am hopeful this will soon just be a life experience "in the past." Wishing you well and hang in there!! Your old friend (same age), Shari
