June 2014

In Minnesota, our winters get long. We just spent 6 months mostly indoors, so we have to make the most of our summers. I worked on spring cleaning and painted Natalie and Larissa's bedrooms. I noticed new pain in my left shoulder that I chalked up to painting, but the pain increased and I started to need more pain meds, so Dr. Laudi ordered an MRI that showed more tumor growth in my scapula (shoulder blade).  He wanted me to start radiation to help with the pain, but I want to give the Doxil time to work, so the plan is to have 2-3 rounds of Doxil, then have a PET scan. While my chemo works, my family and I will play.

Here is some of our June Fun:
