Hello everyone! 

Chemo has been done for awhile now and after some time to recover I feel immensely better. No radiation was deemed needed which was an added bonus surprise.

As discussed in my previous post, I'll be having a procedure done on my heart tomorrow morning at UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. This procedure will replace one of my heart valves. The good news is that the procedure will be relatively minor compared to the one I had done 10 years ago and I should be checking out on Saturday to head home. I will update you all when I can post surgery. My parents and Meredith's mom will be taking care of Ellie and Sage until we return and I'm sure the grandparents will more than spoil them in the way only grandparents can.

Meredith is here with me. We stopped on our way here and had an AMAZING dinner. It was a pretty nice luxury for sure. 

I feel calm. This feels like a finish line of sorts after a year of doctor appointments, labs, scans, surgeries,  chemo, and more and I can finally (hopefully) get back to really living the life I want with my family and friends.

Goodnight out there and as always I'm sending out the love to you all.
