So far so good with the second dose of the new, revised treatment. It was administered on Thursday, June 29. I had a bit of nausea that was remedied by some anti nausea medicine. Over a week out, all hints of nausea are gone.
This week I’ll have an MRI that will bring clarification on what’s happening with the tumors. The most prominent one, nick named “tumie,” is a bit fussy and inflamed. I’d like to think that the therapy has riled it up and it’s in the process of moving on to greener pastures, albeit with some resistance.
Since my last post, I’ve celebrated my 51st birthday with our dear friend, Tonia, over in Port Townsend. She showed us the wonder of Finn River Farm And Cidery where we enjoyed coconut cream ice cream. Then we got to visit our long time friends Clair, Deb, and Rowan, up at Larabee State Park in Bellingham. They drove a long way up from Salt Lake, so a beautiful 2 hour drive was more than fair for us to take to meet them. Plus, I got to meet a dear T’ai Chi friend, C.J., in person, whom I’d only seen via Zoom! Finally, we got to enjoy fireworks down at the nearby waterfront.
The weather has been extremely cooperative, especially in light of the severe heat people in other parts the country and planet are experiencing. ✨🌧️✨ May relief happen soon for them!
I’m indulging in horchata coconut cream ice cream from Finn River Farm and Cidery.

Love the pictures ❤️ I’m glad that you’re doing well and enjoying the Summer.

Hi Rose, the coconut cream ice cream was delicious. If you or someone you know has issues with digesting dairy, I highly recommend it. 🥥 🍦 😀

My dear Rocio! Yes, seeing beauty is healing and joy for me 🪷 Thank you. Take good care and flow with relaxed ease and compassion through the challenges. 😘 D’Arcy
I’m just seeing this and I’m delighted that our time together made it worth posting. It was a lovely day. I am truly honored to have been able to spend your birthday with you.
Just to clarify, the Horchata ice cream. Which is made from coconut came from a business called Fiddlehead Creamery. It is made in Jefferson County. It is sold at local stores and is usually at the farmers market as well as Finnriver Cidery on the weekends.
I am sending you lots of love and hope for continued improvement. 💜🧡❤️
☺️ Tonia, thank you for helping to make is a fantastic birthday!
