@jchantler Congratulations on starting this discussion with your oncologist. Congratulations on your marriage plans for September. It sounds like your oncologist provided you with the information you wanted. I'm tagging @denisestlouie because like you she advocated for herself with her doctors and she made lifestyle changes in exercise and diet.

You've written here the definition of Hope. Hope is optimism with a plan. The plan part means that you are not passively waiting for something to happen without effort but rather taking an active role by working with your doctors and in your own health and recovery.

A Fall wedding! What plans are you making?

Thank you for volunteering and your comment about Hope is optimism with a plan. I love that!
As to our wedding we are going to keep it as simple and stress free as possible. With chemo my energy is very limited. There is a lovely restaurant right on the Columbia River with a pretty garden. They cater= one stop shopping. We are keeping it very small. Flowers on the table, some sort of mixer, a get acquainted activity for guests maybe and a brief ceremony.
