Surprise!

We enjoyed a birthday celebration last weekend with Christina's family for her grandmother. Jennie turned 90 and it was nice to see her relatives and to celebrate a great woman's life. There were a few people who were not aware that she has been kicking cancer's butt for five months. Surprise! I cannot tell you how many people have commented on how great she looks. I agree 100%:) Yes, she has lost all of her hair but her "costume" is so natural looking that it even has fooled her nurses and her oncologist. "Is that a wig? Oh my God, that's the best wig I have ever seen!"  The wig store in SF should be giving her a commission as she has referred several people to their store.

There were a few people in the group on Capri that had no idea. We weren't there to talk about breast cancer or dwell on it. Christina has never felt like, acted or wanted to be a victim in all of this. She has said countless times that she is blessed and lucky. And she is. She has an MRI next week and then meets with a team of doctors at UCSF to discuss the surgery that will likely happen in September.

Every day, the chemo drugs leave her body and she gets stronger. Runs are more frequent and faster and by the time the surgery occurs, she will in great shape. Hey cancer: kiss my butt! Your days are numbered...

P.S.-I just signed up for a contest on Virgin Air to win a trip to Hawaii. I fully expect to win, of course. Aloha!:)
