Happy back to school, summer is over, and time to get back on the cheer bandwagon! Hilary has spent the last 5 weeks “off chemo” in preparation for a pre-surgery scan on Sept 15th and hopefully surgery in late Sept/early Oct. She will meet with her surgeon on Sept 16th to find out the results of the scan and his recommendation regarding surgery. The “off chemo” period is required so the surgeon can see how Hilary’s body reacts without the “mask” of chemo. I’m feeling really good about her body remaining strong and healthy during this “off” time, but we just have to wait and see what the scans reveal.
To give Hills a boost and show some support, we are doing a short, sorry last minute, cheer for her to have on scan day. Heather DiPaolo, a Marietta College friend, is leading the cheer and her theme is “Quote It.” She would like folks to send their most inspirational quotes (taken from spiritual sources, famous authors/philosophers or even favorite songs) and then she will combine it all into a book to present to Hills on scan day. Heather is out of town, so we have to do this a bit ahead of time.
