Unfortunately, my repeat 2 month CT scan in February showed development of four new nodules: 14-mm in the right lower lobe, 10-mm nodule at the left lung base, 3-mm nodule in right middle lobe, and 3-mm nodule in the right lower lobe. Due to the aggressive nature of the cancer, my oncologist stated that next course of action would be to undergo six cycles of high-dose ifosfamide. To date, I've completed four cycles, and have two left.
This post will encompass my adventures leading up to my first round of chemo. Stay tuned for my between the chemo adventures.
Sutro Tower, San Francisco CA
The three-pronged 977 ft high antenna tower was completed in 1973. Currently,
it's used by television stations, radio stations, and satellite and cable providers.
The Three Blind Mice.
Lands End, San Francisco CA
Before the Europeans arrival in North America, the Yelamu
Ohlone tribe lived at Lands End in seasonal settlements.
Titi and Tuan braving the cold weather.
During the 1880s, millionaire Adolph Sutro transformed the area into a
popular seaside destination. He believe that all San Franciscans,
rich or poor, should take advantage of Lands End's beauty.
The future is so bright.
Coyote Hills, Fremont CA
European explorer Juan Bautista led two expeditions in the late 1700s. While surveying
the area, Anza remarked on the Los Cerritos, or "little hills," now called Coyote Hills.
Before becoming a regional park, Coyote Hills operated as a hunting
club, small rock quarry, diary land, a military NIKE missile installation,
and field station for Stanford Research Institute.
We're so happy together.
San Francisco Botanical Garden, CA
California's first Municipal Green House was patterned after The
Conservatory, Kew Gardens, England. It was completed in 1879,
and is the oldest wood and glass conservatory in North America.
The 1,700 species of plants at the Conservatory represent unusual and
often endangered flora from more than 50 countries around the world.
The Butterflies and Blooms exhibit provided a close-up view of more
than 20 species of colorful and familiar North American butterflies.
Say cheese!
Orchids do not have separate stamens (male reproductive structure)
and pistils (female) in their flowers. Instead both are united into
a single central structure known as the "column".
Annenberg Community Beach House, Santa Monica CA
In the 1920s, media tycoon William Randolph Hearst had the beach house
built for his mistress, silent film start Marion Davies. For this grand estate,
he commissioned architect Julia Morgan, who designed the Hearst Castle.
The property was a hot spot where Hollywood celebrities came to
enjoy the sun, the sea, and fabulous parties. We're so important!
More closet space please.
Gauchos reunited.
