I was going to take the day off from blogging today. My chemo is going just fine and so far I am feeling only mildly sick. I am getting my Tower dance down well enough to circumnavigate the 5th floor here at Moffitt for some exercise, which I did after lunch and then followed it with a much needed nap.
I awoke to a knock on my door, and in walked Dr. Letson with his team to check up on my leg.
Dr. Letson, is the man responsible for saving my leg and also doing the brilliant restoration after removing the cancer. Naturally, being the saucy Virgo Warrior that I am, I sprung up from my nap and performed the best two step that I could muster up with my unruly tower partner. He gave me a big hug and responded to the event by saying that he wished all of his patients were like me. Today is the first time he has seen me since Jan. 6th the day after my surgery.
After he examined my leg and saw the early post-operative results he was truly beaming as was I. So the exciting news is that he wants me to come to a golf and banquet fund raiser being held in Orlando early May as his star Sarcoma survivor/spokesperson.
Just when the days before me looked a bit long and dreary with the chemo regimen I received this unexpected surprise! Of course I said yes, and now he has his PA, David Johnson working on coordinating with Dr Conley (my chemotherapist) so that I can be off for the event.
An unexpected surprise for an expected quiet day!
Today, Virgo Warrior rose to a future star status in the world of Sarcoma....who would have guessed?

Oh my God , that´s wonderful Kathryn; you are even an inspiration in the medical world.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the dancing, I just cannot stop admiring your spirits! You have certainly got something from the above ;)"
Love, Liisa
Kathy, I can't imagine a more inspiring spokeswarrior than you. You are lifting the spirits of those who know you even as you battle and beat this fearsome beast. That Dr. Letson is a smart guy indeed. Be well.
