I am happy to report that I am finally done with treatments! Wednesday was quite a day. It was 9 months from the day that the lump was found. What a year it has been! I am now trying to just gain my strength back. I ate a piece of fish and a salad yesterday, which was the first meal I have had in weeks. I was quite proud of myself. I feel like a recovering anorexic! I went for a short walk yesterday and it felt so good. My body is so achy from doing nothing for so long. I was actually exercising up until about 10 days ago so it is not like I have been completely inactive. But, many hours have been spent sitting and laying around in the past 6 weeks. I have a long way to go before I feel good again. Everything takes effort right now. Finding a balance between pushing myself too much and not enough is going to be the challenge. I feel so robbed of the past year of my life that I just want to get on with it. But, I need to pace myself. The burns on my neck are pretty painful but getting better by the day. My taste buds have a long way to go but I have high hopes. That is all for now. Only good news to follow.

Liz - you are a breath of fresh air to me! Never doubt for a minute how much you are loved and respected for all you've tackled this past year. You and Clint should consider writing a book some day on positive thinking! sb/
