    T shirt
    I think I might start a Tshirt company that just supports Cancer..That would be so cool...Trainer said he has one that actually says CANCER SUCKs, I would love to have one of those. I could donate some of the profit to the cause to find a cure, wouldnt that be great..Wish I had a good business sense about me, I would actually do it...

    Hey Vicky maybe you and I could do it together....Since you have that great business sense about ya..

    Beth - the new T Shirt Guru!
    Great idea...maybe when I am all through this we can talk! LOL! I am having enough trouble right now just getting the magazines out on time.

    I am so glad you are doing well. And I forgot to say Congrats to you and Wendy as well...a wedding is certainly declaring you got your life back!

    Many hugs...Vicki

    The energy will come back soon
    Beth, I am 4 weeks out from my last treatment (yeah). It was definately wierd not going in for treatment that first time after too. Since then, however, I am finally lasting longer than 2pm without needing a nap. Everyday I seem to be able to do a little more than yesterday. Started working full days again, walking outside (weather permitting), and just trying to live a little! I have to admit that when I fall asleep, I really fall asleep tho! My hands are still making me nuts, I hope that fades away soon. Part of it is that I live in Minnesota - and someone decided to turn the calendar to October instead of June! It was only 48 here yesterday, and boy do my hands and feet know it! My tongue is still numb, and food still doesn't taste very good, but I can drink cold things. But I gotta say - just not having to be attached to a hose is a great feeling!

    Congrats on the grandchild, and the upcoming wedding! Nick and I are also starting to plan ours (although I think I am the one with the cold feet here, no pun intended!)

    Congrats
    Hooray, Hoorah its a NO MORE CHEMO DAY. So happy for you.

    Wonderful
    Great news on finishing your chemo. Hope all scans and tests are normal for you. Enjoy that new grandchild. They are so wonderful and you can spoil them and get away with it. Start your normal life now and don't put it on hold because you deserve it.

    Yay, Beth!!!
    I'm so happy that you are done with the chemo! It definitely has been a hard haul for you, but you are a trooper and did what had to be done! Just a small caution--don't expect to bounce right back & feel super right away. Your return will not be a bounce, but sort of a slow motion rise. You can speed things up by eating right, taking lots of small walks and hydrating, hydrating, hydrating. Beth, you have a lot to look forward to, and we will be here to celebrate with you! Hugs and best wishes to both you and Wendy!

    God bless,
    Kirsten

    Thank you Kirsten
    Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. ANd you are right, I know its going to take some time. I just have to learn to be patient and let things be as they are. I just get so excited to be back to my new norm and want things to get back to the way they were. Its frustrating when I cant even walk to get the mail without getting tired. But I plan on working up to it, like walking and actually I just got my motorcycle lic and plan on doing some riding. It makes me feel good to be out on the open road and feeling empowered that I can do it. I can now relate to how Angel must have felt to ride. I just love it, I used to ride horses when I was younger (much younger) and that too made me feel free and like I could move mountains. My job is very demanding and it scares me to have to go back, but I have to, have this bad habit of liking to eat so therefor I go to work...LOL... Nice to know I am not alone though, that I am not the only one that has to realize it takes time to get your energy back.

    I do have alot to look forward to, I am so excited about being a grandma that I cant stand it. And with getting married, never thought I would do that again. But I have found my life partner and there isnt anything that could stop me from marrying her. I just wished it was legal, but thats another whole story.

    Again thanks and I will continue to pray for you as well.


    God Bless
    Beth
