Betsy, I am so happy that you have been able to eliminate that liver met with chemo alone.

I am in a better frame of mind than when I started this thread. I truly thank all of you that have responded with the amazing pep talks!!!

You all ROCK!! :D


Robin,

So glad to see that you're feeling better. It was a good post, lots of comments and feelings and opened up needed conversation so thank you for just putting it out there.

Have you taken the trip to see grandson graduate yet? Chemo brain is my excuse for losing track of stuff on here and in life general!

Hugs,

Shana

The upcoming event is son and family arriving here in 13 days!!!! Then daughter and family arriving in 17 days! They overlap by 2 nights so the house will be seriously chaotic but I am soooooo looking forward to it. :D

Sounds like a wonderful get together with your family, celebrate Spring and Easter and just being together! Bring on the chaos and surround yourself with all your loved ones :)
