All of this madness occurred Thursday - fortunately, my appointment was on Friday. My appointments are in the Weinberg Building, next door to Nelson. It was all my nurses today could talk about. They said Thursday it was business as usual, even though they were in lockdown - too many patients depending on treatment - so they kept working. Wow. I'd have been ready to run for the hills!
Now for the good news. It seems I've won the lottery - at least as far as pancreatic cancer is concerned. The CT scan shows my tumor has shrunk a little bit more, so the doctor is going to have me undergo two more rounds. Steve asked what happens after that, and Dr. Zeng didn't know - he says pancreatic cancer patients don't usually make it to this point. So I guess I was kind of premature in giving away a bunch of my stuff. And, yes, I will take better care of myself. No more nightly ice cream binges.

Oh, Girlfriend! This is the very best news! So, so glad you came up the winner on this.
Wish I was there to take you out for a celebration lunch/cocktail hour/dinner - something!
I've been swamped with the book release this week - but heard from Chanel that she thought she left a dress here. I found it hanging in the downstairs closet. Now, where do I send it?
Big hugs from Grandview!

Are you certain the ice cream didn't play one of the key positive roles? Just wondering.....
