UPDATE


I just wanted to stop in and visit with all my friends.
I have been gone for quite sometime and I apologise for not keeping in touch more.

I can report though that I'm about to go through my 5th treatment next week.
My husband and I travel up to Chicago for these chemo treatments every month
and stay overnight at a wonderful hotel.

The treatment are not terrible by any means but they do wipe me out and make me nauseous!
 A little chemo brain sets in too, and my head gets a little cloudy.

I have a sixth treatment at the end of September and then(fingers crossed)that's it for a while
My  scans look clear too, so the insides are looking as good as the outside.
I always liked to match!

My thyroid has been acting up too, making things just a little bit more difficult.
All in all, I'm doing well,.. my Dr even has a smile on her face these days.

So please forgive me for ignoring you for so long and thank you for sticking with me.
I still have a little ways to go.to the finish line, but I will try and stop in more often..

I have to go and have my blood drawn in a bit
 so I'll close now I think.

Keep smiling everybody and thank you all for your kind notes and sincere good wishes!
They seem to be working!!!

Til next time my friends!
XOXO
