I think now is a good time to remove myself from the board...

Rhonda, take care.

Rhonda,

The tides ebb and wane as do our contributions to this board. I truly believe that sabbaticals and mental health days are critical to recharging our batteries. We can't live and breath breast cancer 24 / 7!!

Thank you for your prayers and contributions and look forward to "talking" to you again.

As always,
Al

Kind of like a "chemo break" huh?

Sometimes we need to look around at all the things that are going undone and make sure we do not slip into a funk over this disease. And children do not wait for the attention they need. Tend to both of your sore throats.

Get comfortably resettled. New info will come pouring out of ASCO, and you have a good footing to go on contending with our particular "brand" of breast cancer.

Thanks so much for keeping me in your prayers and thoughts when I have been once again knocked back by this cancer. Now - if my head could stop throbbing and feeling like it is in a vise ...

See you in springtime.

Rhonda,

We'll miss you and I understand needing to "get away" for awhile. Best of luck on your move. And get us a holler now and then.

Love and light,

Lisa

Rhonda -- Hope you and your son are feeling better soon and good luck with the move. I've so appreciated all of your information and posts -- especially on nutrition.

I hope you get your batteries re-charged and stay confident in your own system to fight the battle. We'll miss your daily presence.

Rhonda, thank you for your many supportive posts and informative articles. Take good care, and hope to "see" you back here some day!

Rhonda, we will miss you! Your contributions have really been appreciated. But having made three major moves myself since my heart attack and last mets in 2004, I can relate to the need to save your strength to concentrate on moving. It will feel so good to get settled again, and we hope you will let us know how things are going. We look forward to seeing your posts again! Hugs, Tricia

Rhonda;

I don't really know what you are talking about....it seems evident that there are some issues on site that I have totally missed...but....although I do understand why the stress of life can sometimes and even frequently cause us to need to put up walls sometimes....please remember...this is like a home....and family. You are free to be who you are including being stessed, opinionated, scared, sick, weak, happy and sad, etc. etc. We are all here for each other and share such a strong bond of commonality that you must remember you are welcome here and loved and will be missed in your (what I know is a temporary but necessary for you) absense. I hope you have a smooth move. I was just thinking of your son.....five...what a wonderful age for a son...I remember how snuggley and chatty my son was at that age.

God bless,

Cathya
