Hi All,

Very busy week with a lot of things going on in the household. We had the passing of my grandmother on Tuesday morning who went peacefully in her sleep after a 3 year struggle with Parkinson's Disease.. May she rest in peace.

On another front, my wife had her first (half) week of treatment and has now been competed 1/7 Chemo & 3/33 Rad treatments!

We were both nervous prior to starting treatment as to how bad the reaction to treatment would be but so far so good with very minimal side effects (red cheeks from the medication was about it). I guess the waiting game is always the most difficult and once you get the ball rolling, a lot of the anxiety and fear actually passes and your primary concern then becomes finishing off the treatment to the best of your ability.

Thanks very everyone's word of encouragement and advice to date and we will make sure to continue to update our progress over the next few months on Jenny's recovery to becoming cancer free!
