Saturday 7/20/19 - clear scans & a fund raising bike ride!
Hi all, Just a quick update that all is going well. My scans last month were clear and I've officially submitted my dissertation! I defend in September, so if all goes as planned, I'll have my PhD in a few months! I'm also doing pretty well with physical therapy. I continue to limp but am definitely still getting stronger. My physical therapist, Amy, has said a few times that we should get video footage since it's so rare that a hemi-pelvectomy patient can do certain exercises I'm doing now. So yes, lucky me and impressive job by my surgeon, Dr. Morris. Last but not least, I wanted to reach out because Francis is doing Pelotonia, a fund raising bike ride for cancer research at the James Cancer Center (where I go). It's all relatively long distances, which I'm not allowed to do yet-- but Francis is going for a 45 mile ride and could use your support! If you're able to help, please see the link here for more details: https://www.yourpelotonia.org/...
