Re: Have to share this

Jackie - I love this...and I'm up to maybe 12 of them (having trouble with giving up control, fear (only very occasionally now) and the past. But for me the past is made up of my memories of loved ones lost, happy times, wonderful friends, etc. - nice thing about "chemo brain" - it's easy to not remember the bad stuff. Thanks for posting.
