HAPPY DAY, HAPPY HAPPY DAY!!! Today I feel the battle is truly over. Today the chemo port was removed from my chest. Now I know for sure that the docs feel that nasty stuff is all gone. I AM A SURVIVOR. It's been a rough 9 1/2 months but the battle has been won.
We were going to go on a little trip to celebrate the cure and my birthday but we have decided to stay home. I wanted to go to Napa Valley but Jerry is not a wino like me, in fact he rarely drinks alcohol in any form. Wasn't it smart of me to marry my very own designated driver? We looked at a few other places in California but decided it was a little too much trouble to get the "bus" in shape and spend a lot of money when we can go there next summer and really enjoy it with, hopefully, some friends. It was my decision in the end so I am not disappointed. We will go to a very good steak house for my birthday dinner. I would rather have cioppino but that can also wait until spring or summer.
I will continue to write on a sporadic basis and I will try not to bore you.

Love and HUGS to everyone.


Linda
