Round 3 Status

Well, I have been remiss in keeping our blog updated on Marce's progress. Most of that is good news, in that her 3rd treatment went as scheduled on Monday May 21 and the subsequent few weeks have been pretty much what we have expected. Today is Sunday May 25, and the only "out-of-norm" occurrence has been Marce getting a case of pink-eye on Michelle's birthday May 23. This is a common occurence with her Taxotere chemotherapy, which can create a drying of tear ducts with the follow-on pink-eye susceptibility.

The good news is that Marce has been feeling up to the events of the last few days, with Marina's birthday on May 21 and Michelle's 18th birthday on Friday followed by her graduation on Saturday. Her graduation was a great event held at Anthony's Shilshole restaurant with four other homeschooling families. Families and friends gathered for what proved to be a special day. The weather was beautiful, and from our vantage point over Puget Sound we all were entertained by a poor sailor who ran aground during the start of the 4 hour event. During the course of the function we saw his boat tip over on its side with the lowering tide, only to be righted and free by the end of the day as the tide turned.

Marce's next and LAST treatment is Friday June 6. We will be thankful when that is over, and I will do a better job of keeping this website updated.
