Today Jenna completed preparation for chemotherapy, which begins on Friday. In the AM, a surgeon installed a Power Portocat in her shoulder.
Then that afternoon came a bone marrow biopsy to help guide treatment. Both procedures went well with minimal discomfort.
Jenna’s oncologist says that she should complete 12 weeks of weekly treatment, then undergo a PET scan to evaluate her progress. If NG, then an additional 4 weeks of chemotherapy.
Thus we will remain at Lake Tyee until about November 1. Unless our lot sells. Or the famous NW rain starts. Then we will move closer to Seattle till the end of treatment.
We still intend to return to Imperial Dam for the winter, and hopefully some time in Mexico. And gather more grist for this blog. Right now the Pulitzer committee is looking elsewhere.
And what’s new with you?

Bruce and Jenna,
I had no idea you were fighting this diease. I'm very familiar with it (NH Lymp), as my Dad had it way back in '78. Take care and we are pulling for you. You're in our thoughts and prayers. We plan on being in the Portland area for the month of Sept. visiting our youngest daughter. If possible, maybe we can get together somehow. All The Best,
Tom and Donna
My best to Jenna in her battle. I have a friend in Florida (only in his 40's) who is in remission. It's a sneaky disease....staying positive helps...hugs to you both!
