Kelly, I am like you, I feel like a kid this year with such anticipation for the holidays. Last year I was in the middle of my treatments of A/C and didn't have the energy for anything. So this year I am decorating my house to the hilt, we have adopted to 8 year olds through our church for christmas ( It is fun buying gifts for children) we talked about doing this for many years and finally I decided it was time to give to someone else and make their holiday a bit brighter. We are also going to PA to be with my daughter and son-in-law and my two precious grandchildren for a few days before christmas, before my son-in-law starts his grueling treatment for malignant melenoma. I just feel so alive this year and thankful for every day! HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL MY HER2 SISTERS!!!!!!!
