after my wonderful and rejuvenating holiday break. It's 2 years this month since I went back on chemo (3C/May 2006 with 3 years remission). My feeling strong time was spent making cookies and candy, sewing up doll clothes, and spending lots of silly time with my granddaughters, kids, husband and friends. I drank lots of wine and made very merry! I feel reconnected to all the things that make me subject to all that chemo time and I'm ready to get back into the ring and fight! Some may have chosen a trip to the Carribean, etc., but for me an old fashion holiday was just the ticket... love to you all!

    I was wondering about you
    I was wondering about you and your break. :) It sounds like it was spent just like you wanted and needed. I hope many more breaks come your way.

    Glad to hear you are stronger
    Our families( especially grandchildren) I believe are a powerful 'medicine' . So far I am handeling the chemo fairly well and I owe it to my family and their support and love.
    Glad you are ready to continue your fight with renewed strength, you are incredibly tough and I always look forward to your posts for information and hope. Thanks

    I would have made the same choice.. making merry, at home with family and friends. I am glad you had a nice holiday. I hope this chemo isn't too hard for you and that you kick cancer out of the ballpark once and for all.
    Big hugs,
    Cindy
