Way too long since my last post. I am doing well. As some of you know we took a trip to Louisiana the weekend prior to Mardi Gras. It was terrific seeing my family, friends, and the beautiful landscapes that I have come to miss. Who would have known that a bayou has such mystic? Our friends, Susan and Sam, hosted a porch party at their home on Saturday afternoon. We sat on the front porch on St. Charles Avenue eating quiche, sipping mimosas, and eating strawberries dipped in some kind of fantastic liquor cream sauce. I really do miss New Orleans!
Anyway, we continue to hang in here. My treatments are still every two weeks, and for the most part I tolerate them fairly well. Cathy has been my rock! Thanks to all of you who keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Ellen

About Ellen
On Sunday, July 13, 2008 I went to the emergency room suffering from a debilitating migraine headache. A CAT scan revealed a brain mass that subsequently was diagnosed as a stage IV glioblastoma multiforme. My life and the lives of my family and close friends have forever changed since that evening. This blog is an attempt to deal with those changes and share the highs and lows of what it is like to deal with the path my life has taken. I cannot explain what has happened, sometimes things happen which defy explanations. This is one of those things.
