    Hmmm...I've tried not to think much on this
    Because when I do I feel sad that I may have less time and money for adventures than I had expected before cancer arrived. So, my wants/needs list is much shorter than it would have been otherwise.

    Create good memories for my family.
    Appreciate everything more fully.
    Be more patient.
    Be less grumpy.

    For myself, I'd like to finish the many projects I have in progress. Time to do some additional paintings would be great and perhaps have a gallery show sometime. Really big wish would be to travel to Italy for an extended visit.

    Thanks for the fun thoughts...I'm gonna use my chemo time to visit museums online.

    Well, Craig......since you asked.....
    1. I want to Travel!!!.....to Germany to see my Granddaughters, oldest Son, and Daughter-in-law; to California to see my middle Son; to Utah to see my best Friend; to Arizona to see my Brother (taking my youngest Son and Boyfriend with me of course).
    2. Marry Boyfriend and have a simple celebration (maybe outside) with family and friends.
    3. Play music again, something familiar (I used to play the flute) or learn a different instrument.
    4. Have my Granddaughters visit me and Boyfriend and stay at least a week, so we can get up in the morning together...have breakfast with Grandmom and PopPop, play, take walks, go to the zoo, get ice cream, read books...
    5. Learn how to fix or put together at least one thing in the house (my Boyfriend knows how to do everything...me - nada!)

    Makes you think 'what should I start working on first?' 'Cause nothing's going to happen unless you make it happen.
    Love to all of us and here's to "Making it Happen."

    Set my Mom, aunt and great grandma up in a beach house with a maid, nurse and cook. No worries!!!

    Live in peace, walk the beach, forest, my back yard; listen to music, write, and just enjoy my family.

    Santa Cruz
    We're well known for our giant redwoods, come on over, free place to stay, but I warn you, I don't juice, and dinner is red meat normally (despite my son's protests). And LA is just a mere 5 to 6 hours from here.

    Difficulty answering this
    Craig,

    This is an excellent question + I have been mulling it around for days now. I am having a realy hard time answering it; I am having a tough time right now focusing on long-term goals. I am waiting for the results from my CT scan + my CEA has continued to rise, so I am pretty sure my tumours are growing. If so, I will be moved to erbitux + irinotecan. My mind of course is going to all the "what ifs". I am sorry, I don't mean to be a downer on such a wonderful thread.

    Here is a list of some things I want to do:

    1) See my youngest daughter graduate from high school (June/11) + get settled in university.
    2) See my youngest daughter graduate from university.
    3) See my oldest daughter graduate from her Masters program (fall/11) + get settled into her PhD program.
    4) See my oldest daughter graduate from her PhD program 9~ 2016).
    5) Celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary (July 26/11) with my husband in style.

    I hope everyone keeps dreaming big!

    my list

    In this order regarding my kids:
    1) See my kids all become strong believers in Christ- one is, one's almost there, and one's still struggling with her beliefs
    2) See my kids all graduate from high school & become independent
    3) See my kids graduate from college or move into what they want to do for a career
    4) See my kids get married
    5) See grandkids

    Other:
    1) Have a positive impact on others around me for the Lord
    2) Leave a memory of kindness and of advocacy- knowing that I did my best to be kind to others, be an advocate for taking control of your own cancer treatment
    3) I'd even like to be in the position of being a speaker at various churches- to motivate and encourage others to hang onto their faith in Christ & be an encouragement to others that God is always there for us- even in the midst of hard times and/or illness.

    Travel:
    1) Go on a cruise of the Carribean/Bahamas
    2) Go on an Alaskan cruise or trip
    3) Visit Europe

    I know there's more- just can't think of it at the moment, but there's still lots and lots I want to do on this earth- not ready to leave it yet!!!

    mine
    I already got my biggest wish -- to see my two kids graduate from high school ('launched' as adults). They were 10 and 12 when I was diagnosed. So from now on, everything and anything is an added bonus.

    1. Dance at my kids' weddings
    2. Bounce their babies on my knee
    3. visit New Zealand
    4. do some long hikes (can't now because of Xeloda feet)

    Cruise to Alaska
    Ok, Lisa... WHEN you do that cruise to Alaska, you MUST arrange to catch a ship leaving from Vancouver (we have a kajillion Alaska cruises leaving from Vancouver). I know you can catch some leaving from Seattle as well, but you make a note that you want to catch one from Vancouver. That way, you would arrive in Vancouver at least the day before you set sail (or maybe even make a point of coming out say two days before you set sail). If you do that, I will personally be you and your hubby's personal Suzy Tour Guide and take you around Vancouver... and we can go out for a lovely dinner the night before you sail :)
