Everyone,

Happy holidays to all my friends on the boards.

You have all helped me a great deal this year, encouraging me at the beginning of the chemo process, even before radiation, letting me know you all did these same treatments, and so could I. I can't tell you how much it helped encourage me that maybe I could get thru' this too.

Thank you so much to everyone.

Since we all need to de-stress and do good things for ourselves, I suggest renting Christmas movies, cuddling up on the couch and feeling peace. One I recently rented and enjoyed was Mrs. Miracle. It was kind of cute. I rented Christmas Carol with Jim Carey but have not watched it yet.

Hugs,
Cindy

    Hurray for Relaxing for Christmas
    We've watched Elf. I enjoyed the simple craziness. My daughter and I sat up with snacks and watched it while the lights on the tree sparkled. I'm coming off chemo over Christmas but don't have much energy for running around. I also love that crazy old movie Ernest Saves Christmas. I enjoy characters that get so excited about life's small events that it turns out to be so funny.

    Love your blogs hopeful. You are a sparkling ornament on my tree!

    Cindy do you get the Hallmark Channel
    Hallmark has all kinds of Christmas movies during the month of December. Mrs Miracle was on, and there is a new one for 2010. Have not seen it yet. But I do enjoy the hallmark channel. Glad your counts are finally improving. Hope you are feeling peace.

    Ro10,

    I saw Mrs. Miracle and I really enjoyed it. I rented the dvd. I too heard there is a Mrs. Miracle too, but it is not out on dvd.

    I go for another bloodtest this week, because my white counts still need to come up further. I was still neutropenic last week.

    I am keeping my fingers crossed. I also need to have a thyroid ultrasound, because during the summer months an "incidental" showed up on a ct, that they want to check out, thyroid nodules. My oncologist was not overly concerned, he said many people have them, and that when I completed chemo we would check on it with the ultrasound, so now I need to do that as well.

    Happy holidays to you.
