Re: Emelie
Hello ladies,
I want you to know it was such a pleasant surprise to see your delightful messages. I first want to say I hope all our cards and well wishes are getting thru to Christine. She so deserves all we can do for her.
Also, I have been so enheartened with all the good results coming out of the new therapies. I just wish it was easier to obtain what we need, when we need it.
I am in the midst of obtaining a PET and bone scan for bone mets now. Have to follow all the Medicare rules as this is just a palliative care measure for managing the pain in my bones. It can be tricky with hospice and the "rules".
Other than that, I have been having such a good time with friends and family, that it should be shameful.
My husband and I just celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary and had a great time. All of my kids have been here visiting off and on, and we have made some of the best memories ever.
Please know I think of you all often, though I don't log on like I used too.
I will keep in touch and have asked my family to at least update you on major changes.
Take care all, and I really do hope you all are enjoying the remainder of summer as I am.
Emelie
