Hello Again

No news is good news, right? Turns out this is the case.  My last set of scans showed not only no new growth or spread but also had measurable shrinkage!!!  We are talking 3mm or about an 1/8th of an inch but I will take it!

The new drug continues to be so much easier to deal with than any other treatment regiment I have been on. Since my last post I have tried to be more physically active and have done a 5k run and sprint triathlon.  Still painfully slow according to my standards but I have come a long way from even six months ago. I had planned on doing RAMROD this year (event is today) but it is best I did not as the 11 mile bike during the super flat sprint triathlon course was enough for me.  Definitely not in a good condition to knock out a 150 mile and 10,000 ft elevation course today. Maybe next year :)

In other good news, we got a new puppy! Her name is Cider and she is 14 weeks old today and quite the handful.  It is a good thing she is cute so I can forgive her for all the accidents in the house.

First meeting

Don't I look cute at 7 weeks old?

Cider and Jack.  She has nearly tripled in weight since we first took her home.

The older dog has come around to mostly enjoying her company. I think he doesn't quite like all the chewing she does on his tail, legs, ears, lips, basically anything she can get a hold of.  They play together which helps wear out the near endless puppy energy she has.  As for the two cats, they still aren't appreciating the new fur ball as Cider likes to chase after them.  

Here's to hoping that my next update isn't in another five months. Stay cool in this heatwave!
