Second Cancerversary - saying hi to you all

Dear lovely ladies (and gents) Just letting you know that I am going well and have had the all clear at my recent follow up. I am involved with my local breast cancer support group - a monthly meeting with speakers and twice a month coffee mornings. Last Sunday, I was part of an art project with 9 other survivors. Students from the local university made plaster busts of our busts (or lack thereof). They are going to paint and embellish them, at they will later be displayed during the towns Spring festival. The project is named "Busted" There is also an oral history component to it, where we get to tell our story. It was a lot of fun. Two years out and I still get very tired, but I'm able to work and care for my family. I am doing some Pilates and yoga which make a difference. In about a month, I'm going on a weekend retreat to explore my soul. I think it will do me good to slow down a bit. My love and best wishes to you wherever you are in your journey. Diane
