I saw in the newspaper this morning a report on two experimental treatments for breast cancer that looked very promising and sent the information on to be my daughter. I don't want to interfere, and she's in charge of her health, but this report seemed hopeful. She is tolerating the infusion well, but still has a lot of pain from her bones. My friend who is a doctor had a couple of good ideas about the pain. The first is that bad spots could be irradiated to ease the pain. The second is she talked to a woman whose daughter was undergoing chemo without an end date, and that was keeping her alive and relatively herself, with a good life. So there is hope all around, and I feel encouraged.
Don't know is taking each moment as it comes without projecting into the future or living in fear. We will live in each moment and feel it fully, pain and joy, the whole bag of tricks that is living.
