Every Three months I go through "the change." or more correctly said, the fear of the change! I have a PET scan to see if there is any growth in my cancer - indicating a resistance has built up to my current treatment, Every three months I get exceptionally moody and inward. I suppose it's another "side effect" of this road I am on. Tuesday I had an appointment with my oncologist about the Pet Scan the week before and it is all good. I get the reports of the scan on the internet before I see the doctor - so, of course, I read them, don't fully understand, panic a bit, and withdraw even more. This time was no different - but once again, all is well, continuing on the same course, and we can make plans for the next three months! - and that brings us to the end of October when (drum roll) . Baby Anderson is due to arrive.
I have also been given a reprieve on going to the doctor - I just need a blood test in a month and don't see the doctor for TWO months.
John and I are spending a bunch of time at the lake with family and friends. It's a wonderful place to retreat to - and it's fun to share.

Karen flew in from Scottsdale on a whim - hadn't seen her in maybe 12 years. We picked it right up and moved forward! I find that so refreshingly amazing. Lesson here, though, if we are NOT intentional about our friendships, they won't maintain themselves. Be a friend and be spontaneous!
I am concerned that her jeans were so worn out - I am looking for iron on patches to send to her!
If I don't write for awhile, I am trying to forget I have Cancer and live a "normal" life. I always love to hear from YOU - my inspirations to keep it upbeat but real. Enjoy the end of summer - and then we get the FALL! Except for the shorter days - so beautiful.
