Hurry up and wait

Hello again! Paco and I went to Anschutz on Thursday to meet with the surgical team. We were both really impressed with the vastness of the University of Colorado Hospital and with the number of research projects they sponsor. GO BUFFS! The doctors gave us lots of info, most of which is understandable only to other doctors, but we did get some valuable specifics. My surgery has been postponed until Friday,March 2...early in the morning. They expect I will be there for 4-5 days. The pathology report will be available about a week after surgery which will tell us about type of cancer, stage, and prognosis. They are thinking that chemo will start about three weeks after surgery and will consist of 6 rounds, three weeks apart. Today was my last day with the kids at Centennial. I hope I'll be back for at least a little while in May. They were so sweet and caring...like everyone else I've been with lately. Love you all!

    Dear Karen,

    I spoke with Kathleen earlier this week and she shared your present status with me. I hope it's all right that I tell you tonight how much I admire your courage and your spirit and what a kick-ass woman I've always thought you were. I'm thinking of the early days in the neighborhood when Dylan and Mitch were literally one month apart in age and it makes my head spin to think of how quickly time has moved forward. I love you, Karen, and I'm keeping you and Paco and your family close to my heart and in my prayers. Cheryl O.
