A Virus, But Not THE Virus
Since my cancer diagnosis I have not had any other illnesses. I am supposed to wear a mask in public places to keep from getting sick. I have also avoided many places, often simply because I’m dealing with cancer side effects. This week broke that string as I have a horrible respiratory virus – but … Continue reading A Virus, But Not THE Virus →
Rethinking Traditions
It has been almost 2 months since I blogged. I had one round of radiation on the new tumor in my left humorous and my level of pain in that shoulder has reduced significantly. I am continuing on the same treatment and will have scans again in February. Holidays can be a way to mark … Continue reading Rethinking Traditions →
Refuge
I spent a lot of time playing the piano today. It is my therapy and the best way I communicate with God. We had a lot to discuss today. One of my most favorite hymns is On Eagle’s Wings by Michael Joncas. I thank my 4-H House friend, Bev, who asked me to sing it … Continue reading Refuge →

I went to college and we … Continue reading In Sickness and in Health →

The Big Hurt (but not really)
Today is treatment number 35 which brings to mind this 35: My house is filled with White Sox fans so when I was thinking about this being the 35th treatment I thought of Frank Thomas (The Big Hurt). I switched treatment day and location to fit my husband’s new work schedule. I’m downtown at the … Continue reading The Big Hurt (but not really) →
