Paris!

I've just returned from four glorious days in Paris. Yes, that's right, this breast cancer patient got a reprieve from the good doctors here in Nashville to take the trip that Eli and I had planned a while ago, and to begin radiation treatments upon my return. So, the dichotomies of my life continue: the great privilege of spending four days in one of the most amazing cities on earth followed, within 24 hours, by heading off to the cancer center this morning at 10 a.m. to get started with my radiation treatment. Today is the "measuring" day; not sure what that entails, but I will post a report when it's all over with. I do know that once I begin treatments (which I'm guessing will be early next week), I'll be required to show up there 33 consecutive days (excluding weekends) for a little blast of radiation. I'm expecting this to be fairly easy, but we'll see. Hope you are all well, and talk to you soon.
