here and HAPPY
Pepe - thanks for looking out for me. You are such I good friend. I realize I haven't posted for while....
Yes, things are still going OK with the FOLFOXFIRI. I've finished 5 cycles -- and my Onc is thinking of giving me a chemo break after 8 (ie 3 more) which would be dreamy...
My next chemo got postponed a little -- so that I could go to New York City!!!!! (took my youngest son there to start college). NY was WONDERFUL -- beautiful weather, great city (I used to live there), saw old friends -- I had such a wonderful 5 days -- I was grinning the entire time!
Just got back home last night. I started crying on the plane on the way home. Just thinking when I was first diagnosed (8 years ago!), all I prayed for was to stay alive long enough to see my two kids finish high school. Now the youngest is in university -- and my eldest is turning 21 in the fall...and I may be alive to see my youngest turn 21.....Tears of joy, you understand. Every single day is truly a gift....

Hi Tara,
Glad to hear you're doing okay and that you got to take your son to NYC and visit with old friends. Wow- 8 years ago was your dx... I can see why you're crying tears of joy now.
The chemo regimen you're on must be hard on you, but glad to hear that you'll get a bit of a break after a few more treatments.
Hang in there & please keep in touch with us!
(Thanks, Pepe, for posting this and asking about Tara)
