Kate's dance with cancer has ended. She flew away on January 31st, 2016.

We will leave her words about her experience with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer here. They may provide some comfort.

Thank you.

Christmas

Well, this year I don't remember Christmas. 1/22 I started feeling and acting wonky and Melanie and Jonas called my doctors to go over my cognitive and physical issues. I could not remember simple things like general passwords for work or for normal everyday functions. It has been interesting to let go of control. I have given out  passwords that I have always kept secret.

On a lighter note I am feeling so much love towards the folks that have helped me along the way.  We have a Facebook group called Team Kate and we have started to have a little appreciation gathering once a week. I am hosting a potluck on every Sunday from 3-6 PM. I am still dealing with a lot of side effects so it's best for me to keep things early and I might come and go throughout the party, but that means that everyone else should also be just chilled out.  We are still trying for 24 hour coverage, which right now my mom takes the brunt of. So, on Sunday we try to get her help on Sunday morning and she's welcome at the potluck but isn't expected to be running the show or counting my meds.

My mom would love a manhattan during or after the potluck if you'd like some time to get to know her better.

I had a great time hosting the potluck even though I took a nap or two. Please stop by next week if you're at all interestest. Even if if is just to put a quick face to a nap an had a cookie. Everyone has made me feel happy and loved and I want to share that as much as possible

I appreciate all of your help.

** Update ** Melanie captured a couple of pictures of Bonny shaving my head. My hair has fallen out again, but I think this time it will grow back faster than last time.
