Went to the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce annual meeting last evening at the Chatham Bars Inn...great time and caught up with a lot of people. The mood of business owners on the Cape seems generally positive right now with many of those in the hospitality and service industries heading into their peak seasons. Folks seem bullish on the Cape economy and many businesses, like ours, are embarking on exciting expansion activities which will greatly enhance their size and scope of service. Of course when you're at the CBI on a wonderful June night it's hard not to be in a good mood; what a wonderful spot - and it was a pristine night to be there.
I am consistently surprised at how many people read this blog, and feel honored to have so many people pulling for me...people still seem surprised when they first see me, as if they expected I would look a little shabbier than I do; to those who haven't seen me in a while - you would have no idea anything was wrong if you saw me. The hair loss is basically an issue restricted to home that makes a mess, but you really can't tell by looking at me. I've managed to actually GAIN a few more pounds I don't really need, and everything else is pretty well normal. As I said before, I'll try to get a picture up soon to prove I'm still in one (heavier) piece.
Heading over to Falmouth in a moment to handle some business with our new location...July 2nd is rapidly approaching and we have plenty of work to do. Tonight I'll head out on a boat cruise for the Falmouth Chamber of Commerce (with our expansion there we're new members) and I look forward to meeting many of the business folks over in Falmouth. It's a great night for a trip over to Martha's Vineyard so I'm pretty excited to get going.
So, I've been feeling great - with only some lingering fatigue slowing me down some. I'm keeping a busy schedule when I'm well and feel lucky to have such minor side-effects to this point. Next Wednesday marks the halfway point for me and we're really looking forward to being on the way down in the treatment process.
Heard great news on another young woman I know here on the Cape who is going through the same treatment, for the same issue (down to identical staging); she is just ahead of me and got her scans done the other day and is progressing very well with the treatment. It means a lot to hear good news like that when you're going through a process like this - I hope I am equally as fortunate and I was super happy to hear the great news for her.
Hope everyone else is well and I've been lucky to have not been staying up to watch the Sox stink it up in Oakland, I'm hoping they can get off the schneid tonight.
See you all soon...Gary
