Last Sunday I “ran” (walked + jogged) the 11th annual Run of Hope to benefit pediatric brain tumor research of Seattle Children’s Hospital. The day was beautiful and I owe big thanks to Paul, Suzanne, Sumeer and John who came to join the effort. Also big thanks to those of you who donated! Of the event’s total $500k earned, my effort garnered $1575 (not the $3485 listed on the buggy FirstGiving website) which far exceeds my expectations, and is rather awesome.
Mom came out last week and (in addition to being my chauffeur) really added comfort and delight for us all on my first full week of treatment. Thank you, and happy birthday, Mom!
Today I had my 10th radiation (of 30), and to date I’ve had fairly limited side effects from that or the oral chemotherapy medication. The nurse said she anticipates the rest of my treatment will probably be the same, so needless to say I’m exceedingly grateful for this outcome.
I’ll keep the blog updated periodically, but here’s hoping for a series of boring posts ahead saying “things are still fine” 🙂
Be well & thanks always for your support.
