She looks cross at being disturbed.. My old cat, Jasper, used to jump in the bath after I'd got out…

Hola M'Lady! Summer vacation and went camping with old friends. Physically cruising along but mentally baked liked a fruitcake. You walked across my spiritual brain strong the other day and knew I needed to touch... Blessings and stretches of good words to you, Cathi
Good to hear you are doing fine chick.....how many more treatments do you need now? All is still good here......the steroids help the tiredness but I finish them today, so we will see what happens after that....here...I will be fine....like you! xx
Hiya!! So far so good...but its early days I guess! God, its a long boring day getting treatment....lol How is your appetite doing chick...any better? x
Dear Inka, Thank you for your kind and supportive words. I really should start getting my testing on a Friday so I don't spend the entire weekend mulling over the results. I did have a period of angst this morning as well as little sleep last night but I'm pretty much make to my normal self. I think I had engaged in some of the anxiety-provoking behaviors that I've tried to eliminate. I've ended up with an old-fashion tension headache this afternoon and think that a good night's sleep will fix it.
I will be very interested in seeing the finished book. I'm glad you have the energy for the project and am impressed with your initiative to work on it! I seem to work better with an outside push. My first master's degree is in religion. A lot of interesting stuff in that area of study but I have forgotten a lot of it too. I do recall that all primitive peoples saw nature as sacred. The works of Mircea Eliade (sp ?) talk a lot about symbolism and nature as does Joseph Campbell. That's about all I can remember off the top of my head.
Thank you for being such a supportive friend and helping to keep me steady when the "scaries" come. Do keep getting stronger and stronger each day! Much love, Janet
Diagnosed with ovarian cancer end of 2000. After two ops and carboplatin, plus six years behind me, I thought I was over it. A few months ago a CA125 test showed something was wrong. 3C and am due to start chemo 17th Dec 07. I had the final chemo 9th July.. CA125 wavering between 70's and 90's.. Not the best result from so much treatment.. but could be worse..
I've recently been diagnosed with a recurrence of ovarian cancer, stage 3C, after being clear for six years. I had carboplatin the first time around and am trying to decide which option is best to go for this time.
Can't bare the things I am discovering about the American health system.. unheard of in other civilized countries.. and am interested to learn more..
I'm from the Uk and recently visited the US for the first time and met some of my friends on here. Uk is also experiencing a financial crisis and I believe we all have more in common than not. I love sharing opinions on what is going on..
