Okay, I think we can all agree that I am a terrible blogger. I guess I am not as selfish as I feared because I find it very boring to just write about myself. It seems like such a self-absorbed endeavor. But I appreciate that you care about me so let me update you on the latest.
I have recently finished my LAST Chemo treatment. HOORAY! Soon I will start what I believe will be 7 weeks of radiation 5 days a week. But I have a firm belief that radiation will be a piece of cake compared to chemo. And speaking of cake - I am excited to be able to get back to working out 6 days a week and hopefully losing a few pounds and getting back into shape. I have missed my daily workouts. My chemo doctor said that my hair should start growing in about 3 weeks after my last chemo so I am really anticipating hair and eyelashes and eyebrows and all those things I always took for granted.
Frank and the kids are doing great. Alanna and I are wrapping up our swim season. With Alanna's help I managed to survive the summer and service my clients. Alex is still working at Outback and is starting to work on some new art projects as well. He is a very gifted artist- check out his website http://digitalcutti.deviantart.com/. Frank and I are beginning to book more performance gigs for the fall/winter season. That is a very good thing. The economy has hit our business very badly in the last few years and we are hoping for a busy season.
Frank's mom is doing very well and has decided not to have surgery for her breast cancer. She has been taking medication which has shrunk the tumor to the point where it is barely discernible. Considering her age and poor heart and diabetes I think she has made the right decision. Frank's dad, on the other hand, is doing very poorly and wasting away from us on a daily bases. Hospice comes in to help 3 times a week and they are a god-send. Please remember Dad in your prayers.
I would love to hear from those of you who still check in to my blog. I want to know how you are doing and what is new in your life. Thanks again for all of your good wishes and prayers. I truly believe the worst is behind me and I am anxious to reclaim my "normal" life. Love and happiness to you all. Dianne

Finally, you posted something!! Hooray for the end of chemo, I think we should have a huge party! I wish I was there to be with you while you do all of your radiation, it has been way too long since I've seen you, I miss the Cutri's and your bedroom is waiting to be slept in!
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs to all!
I'm with Laurie...glad to see a new blog, from you Di! Not that you haven't had a few other things to concentrate on lately. Yes, I want to know the minute you see the slightest bit of hair anywhere on that way-too-long bald head of yours, and I'm guessing that we just might hear it...even all the way up here in Indy!!! Hoping radiation IS much easier.

I am glad also that the chemo treatment are over. It was good to hear your voice on the phone the other day. We will have together some time. I have in my prayers.
