I had lunch with friends that day and another lunch on the following Sat. so felt well celebrated. My treatments are going well, the oncologist said when I saw him before Chemo Four last Tuesday (July 23). The previous Tuesday I had a mid-course CT Scan.

When the oncologist discussed the results, he said the breast mass which was very big can no longer be seen, and lymph nodes growths under arm almost gone. These were the only places that a full body scan in May found cancer. Each chemo starts a new cycle of needing to do nothing but respect the "war" inside, and kind of creep around taking care of myself between naps, then gradually a little more energy until next cycle starts in 21 days. I have 2 more chemo cycles - total of 6 - then 2 injections of antibodies, whatever they are - each of these 3 weeks apart. This will take me up into Oct. Does seem long. And since I don't find the energy to do much in the way of exercise, I can feel myself getting a bit weaker with each cycle. It will take some time to rebuild strength - there's a special group for cancer survivors at the Y where I had been going. This is a good time of year to go through this intensity - lots of fresh food at farm stand just a mile down the road - & farmer's mkt. when I can get there on Sat. Much better than snow on the ground! I much appreciate friends giving me rides to the hospital for the chemo - could drive there fine but driving back would be another story.

Dear colleagues, Thank you Jaime, for this photo. Her face has such a look of serenity. I remember working with Janice and Abe in Summer programmes, a wonderful pair. Her insights into the depths of the spirit were always so precious, and so full of meaning. We will all miss her care filled wisdom. Thank you Nancy for your song, and Sherwood and Eunice for your poem. Deeply appreciated. Journey on, journey on, Janice. Isobel Bishop.
