It's been 7 years since my diagnosis November 1, 2005. I am still a fundraiser/grant proposal writer for an organization that assists Latino immigrants and neighborhood children in my small city of Wilmington, DE. I am not married. (Maybe I should put marriage on my bucket list). I don't have children or pets.

I'm trying weight watchers for the umpteenth time and have started line dancing as exercise (3 activity points for 60 minutes). My brain gets jammed and my feet lock up on the more complicated steps. I blame it on chemo, not clumsiness LOL.

Cancer still dances around the edge of my life. My good friend at work is fighting pancreatic cancer. I'm going to a benefit this weekend for the owner of a bar where my brother plays music. The owner is fighting lung cancer. But new treatments are working. I'm hopeful we'll see a cure in our lifetimes.

Happy Holidays to all....
