Hey all,
Carolyn, enjoy Florida, my son is down there now...we sent him down for two weeks..for vacation with grandparents who live down there...my inlaws...
We all, the rest of us are going for two weeks in August..ahhhhhh and I have been thinking of the heat that goes with that...ahhhhhh (the only good time to schedule our trip was then, with both our work places...)
So good luck with the heat, and I will try in August to survive it....
Vonn, I havent read back, wondering how you are doing?? now that nicer outside..maybe we could meet up..maybe me come that way sometime..??
Update, me I am ok...keeping busy with kids, work and all...
sxs still come and go with heat, humidity ...
My sister Madeline, the one fighting Cancer still....ugggg
well, she started as some of you know with colon cancer years ago...they had removed some colon and did chemo and was doing well...
then not long after they found it had spread....to liver...they removed half her liver...and started chemo....and been on chemo now over a year...
during which time, they also started seeing small spots on her lungs...
well for a while chemo was keeping them the same size...
but latest tests..showed the spots getting bigger..and more spots in both lungs and liver....so she is now off chemo...and waiting to hear about doing a test with a University for experimental meds...as she has been on all approved chemo meds...and not working....so keep her in your prayers...
she is still so upbeat and good spirits...she is still teaching at the University she teaches at....thru summer..but then taking off in fall....since not sure what is up...
she still plays tennis often...and feels pretty good....
she is now talking finding a wig she likes made....as she mentioned she doesnt want to have a funeral someday with a bald head....
but hey her good spirits and dealing straight forward over the time has I feel kept her feeling so good so far...
Due to this last news, my kids asked when we are visiting down there for some time....
well between florida in August..and already in a week or so had a three day trip planned downstate...(to hang with the family I used to nanny for out in Boston area,..they will be in lower MI soon)
I decided to take that whole week off here in June...if driving already 5 hours for the one visit...might as well continue lower down MI...3 hours to hang with my sister and her family...so the girls and I are doing that soon.
When I think of how strong my sister is with Cancer, I can be stronger on my yucky painful sx days....she is sooo strong...such a great inspiration to me...my big sis...( I ahve four sisters total) but this is the one that was about 10 when I was born...she became my second mommy...I am sad taht she has to have Cancer and that it is getting worse....but glad she is so strong...
hugss all, sarah
