For those starting chemo in June

Happy New Year and may we stay cancer free, young, beautiful, sexy and smart as heck  another year. O.K. lets settle for cancer free but I can dream.Hugs, Mare

Janaie, I have to look mine up. I will do that today. About the rest, we are young according to the old geezer the other day at Kroger who said while talking about being tired "you are just a baby", I am 82 years old. Beauty is only skin deep(according to my grandmother who would tell me that and I wonder now if she was only trying to make me feel good in case I couldn't get a handsome guy), its what is inside that counts and by golly, I can say with all honesty we are dam beautiful!  I will say we are smart I just have misplaced some of my smarts but I always find stuff when I don't need it. There are times when toolman makes me feel like a carpenter prodigy so that helps. Gotta get, Hi to all. Hugs, Mare 

Hey girls, glad you are getting some Janie time in there. Gosh I doubt I could concentrate long enough to do all that. It is going to be below 0 so burrr!!!  Hubby and I have put on some poundage since the Holliday season. Frankly it has been to cold to peek out to even pick up the news paper let alone walk. I do run to the car when I really have to get out. One would think all the body contorting shivering would wear off a pound or 5. Nope! Hubby came home from Wally with fruit, so we could eat fruit instead of Russell Stover maple or vanilla cream or marshmallow eggs,( I got a bunch on sale candy after x-mas like theRussell Stover santas and snowmen).Well what a wonderful idea, bananas, apples, oranges, strawberries. Frankly I have never liked much fruit (and hubby isn't looking to good either forcing this make me feel guilty if I don't eat some healthy fruit crap, especially if he looses and I don't) but I am willing to try. We are going to loose weight now girls. I have gained 5 pounds depending on when I weigh. Early a.m. well, 149 but afternoon and evening with my housecoat on mind you I am at 151. Now this is causing problems with my pants that are used to a144 lb. rear. O.K. I am really into this whole fruit thing so I went to Wally and picked up some chocolate dip and carmel apple sauce which is good on the bananas when you are out of honey. I am not affraid of trying and if I don't get back to 144 well there is Spring and I will make it up then. Really I would love to see 127 again and I daydream about how slender I looked then, before chemo, but thats just not gonna happen and I frankly think chemo is to blame and I am sticking to that alabi! Thank the gene pool for the 5'- 7 1/2" height or I would be singing a little different tune and working a little or a lot harder than I am. Maybe. I do love being outside and walking and "thinking" about doing healthy things someday.  ahhhh. Oh Janie, I think I had my mamo in March but it was like 3 or 4 wks. until I actually got into the surg. for my cancer. I had the biop. then saw the cancer surg. so I would say I will be at 5 years since dx in March. I started chemo June the 6th. I better go so stay warm girls. Hugs, Mary

Hey Girls, I have an Onky apt. in a couple wks. I got my blood work done already and went and got my test results from med. records because I wanted to see my tumor markers now.... They are good and so is my other blood work(well our new "good"). I feel good about that. I hope I can go to every year now. oh well, someday. I hope everythings good at your place P.J. and Janie is getting some relaxiation. Hi out to Nancy Lee. Hugs, Mary
