Well, ain't it good to be alive?! I went through menopause at age 45 and all my friends are going through it now. So we commiserate and share hot flashes.

I'm not sure that my bad moods weren't in part caused by my anger about having cancer. Heck, I'd already been in a carcrash and had been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. Wasn't that enough???? Or perhaps they were caused by having teenage sons, a husband who works too much, a father who had a heart attack...

In other words; some of the symptoms would have shown up anyway. Just at a different time in my life and perhaps not all at the same time. When it rains it pours!

But I AM alive! I am here to see my kids grow up. And that's the most important thing in the world to me.

Love

Jacqueline
