After a short detour and a brief course in cardiology, Lynn's been pronounced ready to resume chemo and radiation Tuesday (only one day detour!). So we're now planning for the gradual onslaught of "chemobrain". Turns out there are hats, t-shirts, name tags, posters
and bona fide research, as well as various other accessories to remind the world that people undergoing chemo are likely to be slightly off their game - losing words, forgetting what you were about to say or do, and otherwise being in a fog.
Sounds like most of us under stress.
But there you have it. Much more satisfying to catch Lynn in chemobrain than to focus on some of the other aspects of cancer treatment.
Thanks to Jono and his roommates for taking on some of the extra driving this week!
Glad to hear things are back on track. Our Texas Nonprofit Summit (nee Crossroads) is this Thursday and Friday.
ReplyDeleteLynn, remember when you'd be at the Convention Center at 5:30am every year for that? And remember the year we may you (and everyone else) wear those goofy green bandanas? :)
Sending good thoughts your way for the treatment this week.
Take care,
Tara
I am encouraged by your optimism. I know this is a curable problem and I am counting on you. I am waiting for you to be proactive and shave both beard and head, and then post the photo!
ReplyDeleteI send my best wishes and hopes.

I am very happy to have this blog to check in on. It's wonderful to see how much you're all doing to kick this thing's butt. I'm thinking of you both often.
ReplyDeleteHey, Lynn, when you get done with all this, I want to go eat with you at the Chinese Gardens. What a wonderfully serene place! And you can show me some of your favorite bike rides!
ReplyDeleteKeep chugging, my friend! You are strong and will do this!!
