I have had to cancel so many plans over the past few years I hardly dare even think about them very directly. But, in the midst of a fairly brutal chemo regime, I actually managed to go away for a nine day holiday with my honey. IT WAS DIVINE! My oncologist (conservative!) was great in allowing me to go (and telling me I could text him 24/7), I carried a mini-pharmacy with me, including two courses of antibiotics 'just in case', and I had to go in for a blood test 1 hr after stepping off the plane -- but it was so worth it. I didn't actually believe I was going till the plane took off. Total relaxation at a beach resort -- bit of yoga, bit of beach walking, bit of paddling in the pool, and a whole lot of nothing. I just can't believe it -- so wonderful. I missed you all -- but you understand!! Tara ps I will probably be changing from GOLF-A to Gemzar plus Xeloda plus Avastin soon. I'm looking forward to the possibility... |

I'm so glad you got a chance to go on vacation! You've been in a hard fight for a long time...you really deserved a fun break. And the best place to do that, imo, is the beach-so relaxing. Hugs~Ann Alexandria

I think time away from all the stuff that overloads our day to day lives is hugely therapeutic and should be prescribed for all. Recently had a similar week in
Menorca and did me and my whole family the world of good.
Congrats and now start planning the next one,
