I had a bad reaction to this treatment. It’s been challenging. Just when I started to recover I was hit by a bad head cold. I’ve mostly been in bed or on the couch. Nurse Madi has been on the job.
On my one partially okay day this week I made Christmas candy without my mom for the first time ever. I also baked six loaves of my favorite bread. Kneading is therapeutic.
I almost didn’t attend our monthly Cousin Breakfast, but talked myself into it at the last minute. I am so glad I did. Kelly, Suzi, Jill & Jaci – your love heals me.
I am not in control. 
Hope you feel better soon, Heidi. All the very best.

Thanks so much Joanie. I am so very behind in our emails! January has lots of medical appts but I can look forward to February. Wishing you a 2026 filled with more good days than bad.

Think of you often, Heidi. You and your family are often in my prayers. I sent several letters to my Congresswoman on your behalf. So sad to hear you’ve had a cold on top of everything else. Madi seems to be a most loving nurse. May you and yours be richly Blessed in 2026. Love, Cathy Gregerson

It is so good to hear from you, Cathy. I think of you often. Thank you for sending letters. I am very politically active because it helps me feel like I am doing something when I call or write. I cuts to cancer research will be felt years from now, even if all the funding was restored today. The key to my survival is for research to stay a step ahead of my cancer. I hope 2026 brings you peace and joy. Much to love to you.
