Hi everyone…
Radiation #10 finished right on time on Friday, the drain was able to be removed sooner than anticipated because the fluid output shut down, and we have a pain management plan all worked out. In short, we checked off the boxes so it was time to go home!
It feels great to be here and I appreciate all of the support over the past few weeks.
Please let your comment be your only gift…
I look forward to resuming more substantive posts in the days and weeks ahead.

I have never left a comment on a blog in my entire life. But goddamn you deserve some comment love, lady. Welcome home. xxxx
So happy for you Lisa! Your children must be so thrilled to have you home. (Not to mention Lucy!) May the comfort of your home continue your healing!
My prayers are answered. Home early. I know; thank God for small favors, but why not? Every day that you are in the world, Ms. Adams, you are a blessing to so many of us. So wonderful to see you posting.
So happy that you are home with your precious family. xoxo
Welcome home Lisa, happy for you Xx
I am so, so happy for you, Lisa. What an unbelievable hospitalization you had. I am smiling thinking of you with your kids, husband, dog and garden. They must be unbelievably excited to have you home. I hope the radiation relieves your pain quicker than anticipated. Also, I hope that knowing your community will back you through thick and thin helps bring another sort of relief.
What wonderful news! Enjoy the bliss that is home and family.
KÃkÃzönjs¼¶!Pepe egész éjjel próbálta életre kelteni az A/1-es nyomtatót, de mikor ne működjön? Hát akkor, amikor az embernek a legnagyobb szüksége van rá. Most a város másik végén nyomtatja a diplomatablókat a CAD stúdióban a srácokkal, lányokkal. Mire hazaér, szobrot állÃttatok neki a kertben. Rengeteget segÃt szegényem, hogy összejöjjön végre a dolog.
Thank you for another excellent post. Where else could anybody get that kind of info in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such info.
Home…the most beautiful word in the English language. So very, very happy to hear you have this part of the journey behind you and are able to be home with your family.
Hugs
Lots of hugs and smiles. Somehow I felt today was a special day.
I will leave a sharpie bouquet, a nespresso latte and a corgi waddle and sploot!
Congratulations! Good news!!!
Hi Lisa. I am a friend of Miriam Cremer and a fellow patient of Dr. Dang. I have been following your blog since Miriam sent me the link and just want to say I am so glad you are home and so immensely appreciative of your blog.
So glad you are home with your family, Lisa.
“There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home!”
Glad to hear you are home. Wishing you much peace and strength on your journey.
Delighted to see you are home. I’m sure the kids, the hubby, and Lucythecorgi are are all delighted to have you back home where you belong!
I am so happy to hear that you are home. Sending many hugs and positive, warm thoughts from Pennsylvania.
I love this, you look so preppy, Vix! Very Lilly! I agree about sizes, I swear some companies put a size 6 US label on a size 8 dress just so women feel &qgu;toood" about buying it! Silly! Thanks for the info on the High Street, I feel very worldly now!
Home! Wonderful!
Welcome home! 🙂 Must feel good indeed.
Glad to hear that you are home and congrats on the pleurex catheter coming out so soon! Things will start getting better now. Glad the pain’s getting under control.
Yay!! Thrilled for you & your family!! Wishing you peaceful days as you enjoy all comforts of home (and Lucy!)!

Cangratulations! Wishing you continued improvement everyday.
Welcome home! It’s so nice to think of you out of the hospital and back with your family and Lucy. Enjoy. xo.
The best news I’ve heard today! So glad you’re home.
I am just another person smiling wide and cheering a quiet little WOOT that you are HOME. I bet I know four people and a Lucy happier than the rest of us combined.
We are so happy you are home!
Love you guys!
So happy to hear this!! There is no place like home! Hmmm, where have I heard that before???
I’m also very happy to read that you are home with your family. Wonderful news!
Home. The word is so full of meaning.

Home. Pleased beyond words to hear that you are there. Rest, rejuvenate and feel the love of family. Everyone’s cancer path is different, but the ups and downs of the journey are same. Walking with you. Cherish this up!
How’s this for a profound comment? Yaaaay!
Lisa….ooh rah (Marine Corps speak for outstanding) and glad you are home!
Hoping the hellebores bloom early, the doggie is snuggly, the drugs continue to work, and that many, many more posts come from home. xoxo
I would like to take the chance of saying thanks to you for that prasosfionel assistance I have continually enjoyed going to your site. I’m looking forward to the particular commencement of my college research and the whole preparation would never have been complete without dropping by this site. If I might be of any assistance to others, I’d personally be pleased to help by means of what I have discovered from here.
That’s a skillful answer to a difficult question
– I did nothing for my last birthday…sigh… My husband was out of town coaching the high school volleyball team for State competition, so I was home with the kids. Maybe this year will be different!
Dowdy? Definitely not – you make far more of an effort than I do! Great that you've got to grips with the sewing machine – not every machine works for every person, so I'm glad you're happy with your new one. Looking forward to seeing more creations x
I’m impressed you should think of something like that
When exactly was the book published? I couldn’t find a date on it. Also, how would you cite it?All that said, I found this exciting and important… I bought the e-book after reading the NYTimes op-ed piece.
Finally! 🙂
Wonderful news. I hope that this gives you lasting pain relief
A big cheer for HOME! Rest well in your own bed. Such good news.
God bless girl!!
God bless you girl!
Great news,! Thanks for sharing it, you’ve been on my mind a lot. 🙂
Home. Best word in the entire vocabulary. xo
I am glad that you are home!
There’s no place like home… Welcome home. Enjoy! Hugs and xoxo – Susan
Wonderful to see this event!
woot woot!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful news.

Great news,Lisa. Happy to hear you are home with your family.

This is fabulous news Lisa! I have continued to follow your updates since we left London in November, about when you headed to hospital. With each update I have read, I have learned from your thoughts and ideas, been moved by the eloquent way you convey facts and emotions and impressed at the strength of mind, body and character you demonstrate. My family and I have now reached our home in Australia and are starting to catch up with family and friends, all of whom worried from afar when I was dealing with breast cancer. Home is indeed a great place to be! I wish you special and close times in your home with those most imortant to you and send warm thoughts from a sweltering Canberra. Xx
What a blessing to be home I hope you are bathed in love and peace.
Thank you for any other wonderful article. The place else may anybody get that type of info in such an ideal way of writing? I have a praotnteeisn subsequent week, and I am at the look for such information.
I had RC LR LG LG LR, my sister took the test with me but in different room, she had two LG sections as well, but one of them was different from one of mine, so we concluded that my first LG was experimental. whew
looks fantastic! 🙂 we have all of our wine corks saved since we moved in together, and i have them all hanging up in shadow boxes so i think this is perfect!
Writing is a talent that you certainly have. All your hard work is clearly obvious in how you communicate yourself through writing. Your great talent will always be thought of.
Delighted to hear the news! Best wishes to you & your family.
I feel so grateful that you choose to share your personal experiences with us while you live with your Cancer.
It helps me with my dance.
Thank you and welcome home!
Yay! Congratulations. I am so happy for you. Enjoy 🙂
Wonderful news! So glad. xoxoxo
Considering what you’re going through, your posts are substantive enough!! You sound almost apologetic 🙂 Hope pain is under control…
Hope you will rest, at least for a few days. <3
So glad that you are home with your family and pets and special surroundings. It matters so much.
Love, Sharon
The news we have all been waiting for! I think that all you really needed to write for this post is the title you gave it. Home. The word says it all.
The best news!
So glad you’re home! Wishing strength and good rest for you — and three cheers for pain management!
I got my cheek swabs sent back to Be the Match a while back. I hope it’s not cheating if that’s part of my comment-gift.
So happy for you; i followed your tweets for first time when you were hospitalized because i wanted to hear of you/from you. Therefore i read the whole Keller controversy in real time and i just couldn’t imagine you having to deal with it at the same time you were undergoing treatment–it really seemed so unimaginable to me–but you were great–they picked on the wrong person–their editorials were absolutely grotesque and such an abuse of privilege; nonetheless, again, i learned so much from you. Thank you. I hope you have pain free days filled with the joy of family.
So happy you are home. Enjoy both the quiet and the sounds of your beautiful family. They truly feed your soul!
Glad you are home, it’s a good place to be.
That’s wonderful! Hope you enjoy some joyful time with your family.
Glad that you’re home surrounded by lots of healing love.
Glad your home. Hope your time with family is wonderful.
Your love comes through the pages.
You are a inspiration to others. Hang in there.
Home! Love! All the best from Puerto Rico!
Very glad that you are home!
Really great news. So glad for you.
I remember how I felt after the 7 weeks of radiation, If I was able to, I would get you a big plate of lasagna. Just a few forks and you would be so happy. Hang in there.
Pat
So glad to hear this good news. Hope the good news just keeps coming.
I’m stage IV BC in SF with a young child. I read your posts for inspiration and for some truth and knowledge of what may be down the road. Thank you for your candor and yes, your strength to write day after day and tweet your 100,000 tweets! You keep fighting the good fight and do whatever it takes for as long as YOU want. Peace to you and wishing you fast healing from the latest round of rads.
I am so happy that you are back home!
Hello, Lisa
I am thankful for your voice and bravery. You speak words that I would say if I could access them. I, too, have stage IV breast cancer. Originally diagnosed in 2005–had chemo, radiation, mastectomy and followed with hormonal therapy. Returned in 2012 to bones and liver. I have a daughter and 2 sons. I worry about leaving them and my husband behind and how to impart love and strength that will last when I am not here. I have been on xeloda up until last month and am starting a cdk 4/6 inhibitor. Please have the post when you feel like it–even in the face of critics. Solidarity–Lissa
Haven’t been able to check the site for a few days and was overjoyed to read the good news when I checked today. So happy for you and your family.
So glad you sent out this update. Great news. I appreciate your writing. It has helped me understand what my parents and friends with cancer went through. Your writing has been a guide for deep thinking and reflection. It is also very educational and I loved your interview on Al Jazeera. Please don’t ever let others discourage you from your wonderful, authentic, and true voice. We can all decide for ourselves who to follow and what to read. I support you in every way. Sending you and your family love & sun beams from California.
It’s so wonderful that you are home. And getting the drain out this early? An extra special bonus. My drain had to be in for three months. Looking forward to future posts from your wonderful home. XOX
Lisa,thank you for responding to me. It is as if my lisa is with us. I am not good with the computer so I never know if my tender thoughts are going to reach you. You are always my link… Be strong and kiss those babies of yours. I know your journey. Love,aunt Connie.
Fabulous! I am so glad you are home and hope pain meds. are working their magic.
All the best, Lisa! You are inspiring!!! 🙂
Lisa,sorry to be late,but couldn’t figure this page out. All we seem to do is discuss the weather… I am here in Florida.
So glad you are home… A milestone in treatment. Make it a long stay.
Your children are beautiful… You and Clarke are good parents!!
Smiles, aunt Connie
Wish you happy home coming dear lisa.
Happy day! I’m so glad you’re in the world.
Home again is such wonderful news. I hadn’t been on your site since Jan 13 when we had a major flood due to a frozen sprinkler pipe in my factory. Your encouraging writings are always a joy to read. Attitude really makes such a difference. My wife, Genie fought NSCLC for 7 -1/2 years after they gave her 6 weeks to live. The daily roller coaster ride is horrendous, but she always had a strong determination and, like you, a positive attitude. Best wishes for continuing strength, victory over pain, and lots of happy times.
I’ve seen this before, but you just gave me a ROCKING idea. How about these games on your mobile phone? Yeah, baby. The applet to interpret the .Z files is like 66k. This will take no time at all to make into a Mindht.Tealks Darren!-Russ
Lisa, I always think the positives…. Keep up the positives in your life. Aunt Connie
So happy you were finally able to go home. Hope things just get better and better.
You have been and are in my daily thoughts. I know you don’t owe us anything in terms of posting here but it’s been longer than you usually go so I wanted to pop back by to check-in on you.
My best thoughts and rays of warm sunshine from So CA.
I just found your story, I was looking for ways to support my sister in law’s sister. She was just diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. She has never been married, her mother passed away when she was a teenager and her father is in CHF. She has two sister living close by and one, my sister in law, living states away. I am about 2 hours from her home. Her support system is small and I worry about her often. I feel compelled to keep her close to my heart. She is kind. She is lovely. She is family. She is dying. I love your posts and I’ve learned so many way to support her. Thank you for sharing your story, for taking your time to explain your path. I will continue to follow you and keep you close to my heart. You have so many people sending you positive thoughts and well wishes. I’m joining those who are grateful for your blog, joining those who hope you are having “a good day” today. May our thoughts and posts bring a smile to you today.
Dear lisa Iam so glad you are home with your family.Fellt very upset at the horrible pain you had to endure .wishing u the best .
