    so on Thursday I was told I will need chemo. (lymph node involvement). 

    I have been really depressed the last few days and figured this was the best place to turn and that maybe along the way I can help someone else find a happy thought. It's been hard finding things to look forward to seeing as Iall I can think about is loosing my hair and feeling yucky. So I thought we could all list things we are looking forward to that are good.

    First for me. Today we brought a camper so we get to camp some this summer.

    Second is something I'm hoping will happen. I'm trying to talk my boyfriend into getting a new German shepherd puppy. We have been dog less for over a year now. (we do have a kitty) hoping he says yes. Thought it would be nice to have something to get up for everyday and it would be wonderfull to have a walking partner again.

    both sound like nice things, I have 3 small dogs and they are a lot of comfort and companionship. Seems like you get it, life does not stop while you have chemo. You may be lucky, as I was, having few mild side effects from chemo. Good luck, and I hope you get the pup!

    Cceandme, you'll meet others with that same happy feeling about having a puppy on the Comfort Dogs thread here on the boards (and some adorable pictures of their various companion animals) too!

    I have a pug that I rescued about a year before diagnosis.  He has been a blessing.  The best dog I have ever had.  I think he knows i'm sick too.

    My sister comes in next week and I'm so excited.  Then my son comes home for my big surgery day.  I will be surrounded by friends and family and I can not wait until this is all over.

    Hope the BF agrees to the pup.  They are a lot of work but they sure do comfort you.
