    Good to hear from you!
    April, thanks for the update. It sounds like you are feeling SOOOO much better and that is truly wonderful news. It also sounds like you had a good visit with your oncologist and that you know what the plan is.

    Radiation is not something anyone looks forward to, except that it is a step that you are taking on this journey and then you can cross that off your "to do" list!

    Keep up that postive attitude....it will get through this!

    I know we all feel like we live between Doctors visits and tests. I know when I go in I feel so much more a cancer patient. I am a cancer patient. I am reading Claudia's anti-cancer book and the Doctor that wrote it (he has cancer) is so human. He talks about the kinship cancer patients feel to each other. It is more than kinship; it is a bond one can only feel to know it.
    You look radiant.
    I am glad you are moving on. Have you done anything new and fun lately?

    Hey! April!
    Glad you posted how you are doing! Sounds like you are doing pretty well. {{Hugs}} Radiation is not too bad. Like anything else, it is something you take day by day. Treat the side-effects and eventually it is over and you can move on.
