No news is good news
Things have been going along. I've been getting stronger and now the afternoon naps are more a guilty pleasure rather than a necessity before supper. The herceptin treatments every third friday are a habit to be scheduled in rather than something that is the focus of the week. And my hair is growing like crazy. April 7 is my first hair appointment in like, FOREVER, and it looks like she'll have hair to work with. Yippee.
My neck is getting better sloooowwwly. I still get tired and wear my neck brace for part of the day. I've decided to do some physio to speed things up.
Last trip to the hospital was for a complete neck to hips CAT scan. On the chart I saw that I was a breast cancer patient who had metastasized to her head, bone, liver, and lungs. Lungs???? That's something I'll have to ask about next time I see the good doctor. If this keeps up it'll be faster to say where the cancer HASN'T been.
More later. (words, not cancer)

I really think you should write a book - it would be both hilarious and inspiring to many. Glad you continue to let us know how you are doing.

Hi Carolin,
Getting stronger and getting more hair...what an excellent combination! You are a poster girl for "I may have cancer, but cancer doesn't have me", Missy. Enjoy your new found energy.

Hair! I can only imagine how exciting that is. You'll have to buy shampoo again! :) You have no idea how many people have been praying for you, Carolin. You have been on our prayer chain from the beginning, and I try to update it from time to time. Your stamina, your strength of body, mind and spirit - all gifts from God for sure, as is your family and all those who love you. God is awesome!

I have been away [having a totally frivolous holiday] and was delighted to read your March blog upon my return. Your sweet sense of humour comes through in your writing and I look forward to reading your updates. I enjoyed hearing that you are on the upswing. I agree with Cheryl who suggested you should write a book. You have a gift!
Cheers
