After waiting for over a week for the doctor to call, the radiation plan is complete and I will begin daily treatments on Tuesday, November 11. I will stay at Hope Lodge, 4215 Lindell, St. Louis, Mo. 63108. The Hope Lodge is sponsored by the American Cancer Society and I can stay free during my treatments. I will have weekly Herceptin (IV medicine) on Monday mornings and appointments for tests and other medical specialists while I am there. I will be able to come home on weekends, but may not come home until Thanksgiving when I have 4 days off. My sister, Carol, who lives in Montana, is planning to stay with me Nov. 18-23, and my sister, Luanne (from Chicago) plans to spend a few days with me in December.
I have several projects to complete and will use time in preparation for next semester classes. I am grateful for the faculty at Washburn who are covering classes for me during my leave from work. They are a special group of women and I am so fortunate to call them my friends.
Enjoy the weekend and the beautiful fall weather.
Love to you -
Ellen
