I've been thinking about Andi too. Hopefully she is just busy and having a good time...taking a break. As long as she is ok is all that matters. Sending lots of positive energy your way Andi.

Smile Even In Your Liver...
WOW!  That was great! All of a sudden, I got this amazing vibe coming my way... I think it was from my Sisters on this board! I AM HAVING SUCH A PERKY DAY! Haven't been able to say that in a long while. Good yes. But -- perky! Maybe it was all that loving energy y'all sent out. Better than B12!
Just got back from California, visiting daughter #2 (my baby, Pamela). It was my grandson's 4th Bday! Can't miss that! (I'll return to the other side of the country for the baby's 2nd Bday in late July.) It is my joy to be there.
I had 1 married dghtr and no grandchildren when I was dx in '95. And, look at me now! THANK YOU GOD! So much to be grateful for. Family. And friends (including my buds on the board). How lucky can a girl get...?
Sending LOVE and thanks for thinking of me.
Let's all stay strong. SIT STILL, MEDITATE AND -- SMILE as you do (with every fiber of your being). SMILE -- EVEN IN YOUR LIVER! A bit of wisdom I recently garnered from Eat Pray Love. What a high I'm getting from this bk... Had to share with you. Please treat yourself and go buy Elizabeth Gilbert's #1 best seller. And, get out your highlighter!!
Andi

+ good old Vit H wkly for 1st 3 yrs, then triple dosage ev 3 wks for 7 yrs more... The "easy" chemo, right?! Not a walk in the park, but not a freight train coming at 'ya either...
Added Herceptin Nov '98 (6 wks after FDA fast-tracked it for met bc). Stayed w/Vit H till July '08! Now I AM FREE! Humbly and eternally grateful for this life-saving drug! NED since '99 and planning on keeping it that way. To hell w/poor prognosis and nasty stats! STOPPED VIT H JULY '08...! REMAIN STABLE... Eternally grateful...Yes is a world & in this world of yes live (skillfully curled) all worlds ... (e e cummings) EVERY DAY I BEAT MY PREVIOUS RECORD FOR # OF CONSECUTIVE DAYS I'VE STAYED ALIVE. Smile KNOWING you too can be a miracle. Up to me and God now...
