News of Tashie:
Tashie has had ten days filled with various doctor appointments, and she remains a trooper, upbeat and optimistic. . . .
Bruce and I have been with her for every appt - (Bruce introduces us as "our mother's posse!")
Yesterday we learned the results of Friday's biopsy, and today Tashie made her final decision re. her approach and plan.
She will have a lumpectomy tomorrow at Providence, and will stay the night.
She will spend about three to four weeks recovering from the surgery, and building herself up for radiation.
Radiation will be given daily Monday through Friday, and will continue for six weeks.
Today, after her pre-op visit with her wonderful surgeon, Dr. Yu, we had lunch at Silk, her current favourite.
Then she came home to rest and collect her thoughts, and I went out in search of warm cushy slippers, a New Yorker, the Atlantic, comfy recuperation wear, large type crossword puzzle books, etc etc.
We are off to dinner at Bruce and Bethany's - they are indulging Tashie with all sorts of yummies before she goes NPO for surgery!
In haste and with love -
Eliza
