Cheers to all of us, me, Jeff, Sven and every single one of you that has been on this ride with us.

There is a saying in the cancer community “No one fights alone.” That is so incredibly true. There is no way we could have gotten through this so well without all your support.

Thank you!!!! Your love, caring and support has been everything to us.

I saw my doctor today and he has switched me from active treatment to followup. I don’t see him again until Sept.

While I really like him. I’m happy to not see him again for three months.

I’ve become addicted to blogging so I’ll keep updating this blog, probably not everyday but still a lot. Sven will want to update you on what he’s up to.

Thank you all so so much!!!❤❤❤

We love you!!!!

I went for my hopefully last monthly blood draw today

Tomorrow I’ll see my Wasabi doctor and then if he gives the ok I’ll be DONE! Then I’ll go to blood work and checkups every three months.

I received these amazing sloth socks. They are for me but Sven asked if he could wear then as leggings. I agreed but only for today.

Sven is thinking he may try his hand at modeling and try out for “Panama’s Next Top Sloth Model.”

Today we went out to lunch to a restaurant called Todo Avacado. My salad was really good. It was pretty normal with avocado on top.

Jeff’s was good to but a little more unusual. He got a hamburger that came in an avocado vs a bun.

I’m feeling good. I’m still more tired than usual but every day I have a bit more energy.

Last night Rolf and Samuel had us over for dinner.

As usual they made us an amazing dinner. Steak with an onion sauce, potatoes and salad.

Honestly by the time dessert rolled around the wine had gone to my head. So I don’t remember what this was. I am such a light weight now with alcohol which is a good thing.

There was ice cream, a sauce and a fruit I had never tried before.

I finally got my hair done today! It’s so nice to have a new look.

Sven tried to convince me he knew how to do hair. He put on rubber gloves and wanted to start dyeing it.

Instead I went to a salon called Hairarchy. Roberto worked a miracle to get it back into shape

walking out of the salon.

I’m on a major detox kick. While some people call Wasabi poison, I still try to think of it as medicine and a spicy condiment. But either way I’m ready to rid my body of any of it still hanging around.

Between teas, supplements and of course gin and tonics I’m cleaning out my system.

Sven wanted to swim with us today but the pool still has a strict only humans policy.

I’m starting to get back into swimming. I’m slow and can’t do many laps yet. But hopefully every day I can add one or two.

Today it was cloudy enough that I didn’t need my sun hat and sun shirt. I’m still being careful even in clouds.

I saw this soapy foam on the ground and for a very confused second thought it had snowed.

I also enjoyed this sign. It says slow children playing. From the picture I would think fashionable super models were throwing a ball around. Those are some fancy pants and shoes for playing children.

Now that I’m pretty much back to myself, we are trying to eat healthy. Today was chia overnight oats for breakfast, salad for lunch and lentil stew for dinner. It did NOT include these cookies.

The warnings in the lower right are for excessive sugar, excessive fat, and excess trans fat.

They have more warnings than a package of cigarettes.
