It's been a while since I've posted.

I was diagnosed 4 1/2 years ago. 10/2007. I was stage IV at the time of diagnosis.

Although I've been through 3 rounds of Chemo (bye bye hair), I am able to ski, hike, work, travel enjoy life. (probably more than when I was healthy)

I am wrapping up my 6th cycle of Abraxane (for the 2nd time) and am hoping for a brief chemo break. Scan 2 months ago showed regression on Abraxane.

Staying appreciative for each moment with my family and friends.
