Celebration of Life!

[Esther]

Those of you who have seen my e-mails have followed how difficult this year has been for me so far. A new 4 mm lesion that needed treatment via Gamma Knife on March 5, and the previously SRS treated lesion in my Cerebellum needing surgery on March 7.

Then my newest development, my 1mm lesion in my brain stem. I will be beginning fractionated treatments next week, for 5 treatments.

Well, given all these facts, I could be feeling quite fearful about the length of my future. But....not anymore! As a sign that I will be here for a long time to come, ha! I just bought a new car. A red Mercedes sports car. Ticket magnet if I've ever seen one, but hey, it's cute and fun to drive.

So I'm banking on the fact that i will be here for a significant period of time and Chris will not be left with two fairly new cars on his hands. While at the dealer, I was talking about how I like to keep cars for a long time, and that I planned to keep the new car for 6-7 years. I couldn't believe those words were coming out of my mouth! 6-7 more years....

Actually, I'm deluding myself into thinking I have even more years than that in me yet....here's hoping I'm not in for a rude awaking in the future!
