60 mile walk and update

[mmoons]

Hi everyone,

I posted a while back about lower back pain. I am happy to report that it was nothing. All my scans came back very good. There is another spot on my lung but we are sure it is just more changes from radiation..nothing to worry about.

I feel like a hypochondriac when I worry but I guess that is just another part of my new normal.

I get my port out today and plan to really concentrate on giving cancer less mind space and energy!

Also, the 60 mile walk was wonderful! My sister and I raised almost $6000 with more donations expected, along with some corporate matches. I posted a little montage on my blog if you are interested:

Thank you all for your loving care and nurturing. We are so lucky to have each other. Not a day goes by that I don't send up a prayer for each of you.

Love,
Maureen

Great news on your back pain, we all worry and tend to forget there are other issue's apart from cancer that can cause us pain:)

Many congrats on such a wonderful achievement in doing the walk and raising so much in donations:)
