Kind of nervous
I was hoping to feel a little better without the chemo, but so far the only difference is that I am not nauseated. I was hoping some of the neuropathy would go away and I would have more energy, but I guess it will take some time. So I will enjoy myself and worry about the 'big C' when I get home.
This has been a hard 2 weeks as one of my nieces passed away at 41 from cardiac arrest. This was not expected at this time. She was born with congenital heart problems and had many open heart surgeries over the years. Yet, she remained so positive and happy. She was always so concerned for others who were having a rough go of something. The service will be held in 3 weeks and all of my brothers and sisters will be coming for the memorial and a celebration of her life. She was an amazing woman! But my heart breaks for her parents.
So off to the bank and need to pack. Am taking the chair for the first time and don't know what to expect with that either!
Hope everyone has a healthy week!

Sending sympathy for your loss Carol. Your trip sounds busy, but
filled with good family fun. Hoping your chair makes getting around
a lot easier for you. I wish you lots of energy and stamina for your
vacation and a nice comfy, snuggly mattress for when you land back
home!

Understand why you are nervous, I will be flying next week and am a little nervouse also.
So sorry about the loss of your niece. That must have been terrible for your entire family.
Hope your trip is the best!
Have fun,

I have been flying a lot since diagnosis, it seems like i am not as afraid for some reason. I work with those kids with heart defects and it is a rough road, but it seems the ones with the most to deal with have the best attitudes. sorry she passed,0 -

I feel like such a wimp. I have always been so independent, never thought I would be nervous to do anything on my own! Good thing I will be surrounded by family and the weather has been nice and hot so I will relish the sunshine. Everyone have a great weekend.
My niece's services will be in November and we will all be together to support her parents.

Carol I'm sorry to hear
Carol I'm sorry to hear about your niece. Your family seems so supportive and close, I'm sure you provide a lot of comfort for each other.
As for your travels...I'm thinking that once you accomplish this you'll have some of that old confidence and independence back. Be sure to ride on one of those big golf cart thingies that always seem to want to run over the pedestrians in the airport...I always want to when I travel and I'd be happy to live vicariously.
Hugs,

Condolences
Yes it is quite the bummer about your niece. It seems that the kind ones leave us far too soon.
Have fun while you are gone. You will do just fine I am sure. You can ignore cancer while gone. Every one needs a break like that.0 -
Hi Carol!
my deep felt condolences to you. It must have been quiet a shock to loose her so
unexpectedly. You are in my thoughts.
I hope you have a wonderful trip to help you recover and reboot. You are still amazingly
independent from my point of view. You go girl!!! Take that chair places it has never been...
Love,
