Hi all,
Thought I would stop in and say hello. Sorry I have been gone for so long. I have been getting to know old friends again where I live, which has really lifted my spirits. Planning the wedding has also taken a lot out of me. I feel like I am starting to get stronger everyday. I had my first biopsy after chemo/radiation and it turned out clean so for now they say I am in remission but cant put in official status until 3 months, which is in December. As for the Lupus, they have uped my predisone and taken me off my etolodac and put me on lyrica which I guess is also for fybro. But I have a new Rheumy which he is fantastic, so I will have to trust he knows what he is doing. So far I already am starting to feel better than I have in years, except for the soar throats. I will talk to him about that Thursday I guess.

Anyway, wanted to thank all of you for being there for me and all the prayers. All of them have certainly helped. Hope to talk to you soon

Sherry
