Just wanted y'all to know. Got my latest test results.

I'm still cancer free. Doctor called me "very lucky". Now I go every 6 months for testing instead of every 3 months.

I'm glad.

Thank you for all your well wishes and good thoughts!

Going to add, with each clean check up it will get easier & easier. One day you will look at the calendar and realize you just went weeks without even thinking about it. When that day comes you will know you are also healing on the emotional/mental part of it all. Hoping that day comes sooner then later.

Just saying.

Keep taking pictures, doing what you love to do.

Life is short enough for those few of us that get to bet 103, naturally.

My husband has one more surgery coming up next week and then the packers come shortly after that. I've had a couple of yard sales trying to clear out the garage and house of things we don't need anymore.
It's been busy with more to come.

We're hoping to be in another place in March.

Will you be living in the same area?

I know how you love all creatures great and small, so I wonder if you will be seeing the same birds and other critters. When I moved from slightly North Raleigh to further north in Raleigh, I no longer had chipmunks. I still miss seeing chipmunks!

- and then only if I'm still clear. Then they'll make the arrangements for doctors in another state.

Funny you should mention critters because I did look up the wildlife in several areas and it was a consideration in our choosing on where to settle. I do love me some creatures.




Sorry about the chipmunks. They're fun to watch.

I can't imagine how scary this whole ordeal must have been for you and your family. So glad that you can rest a bit easier now. Congratulations!

Best vibes that you continue to be cancer free. I cannot imagine going through anything like that, but have been with friends as they have fought their fight against cancer; It's a difficult path at the very least.

Hope you continue to update on your positive progress!
