Happy Birthday

It just occurred to me that this day is almost over and I didn't let you all know that it is the anniversary of the day I was told I have cancer. I am now four years into this battle. Sometimes it feels like it has been forever then other times it feels like it is just sliding by one day melts into another and another and another. I wonder if that is because I sleep so much or maybe because it takes me so long to accomplish the simplest task. Maybe a lot of both. So, here is my lame attempt to apologize to all of the people that I owe e-mails to. I am just really overwhelmed with all of this right now and I don't get on the computer often enough to respond to anyone. However, I can assure you that I have read every single e-mail and I really do appreciate that you all care enough to keep writing and letting me know what is going on in your lives. Please do keep writing and calling too. I have been asked by quite a few of you when is a good time to call. My response is call whenever you want to. If I can't talk, I will tell you I can't. For those of you not already on Facebook, please join then friend me. I try to respond to people there. Two simple sentences is a lot easier for me to do than an entire e-mail. I also put a notice there whenever I update my webpages. So, you can read about the latest news much sooner than you will if I send out an e-mail notice. It would sure help me a lot.

Here is my health update: This coming week I will have my second round of the new chemotherapy I am on. It is called Temodar and comes in a pill form so I do not have to be infused, I just take one pill each day for 3-5 days. I am cautiously optimistic about this one. My back has been giving me a lot of problems this past week. So, besides not being able to walk and my problematic right arm I also have a painful back to add to the mix. I think my body hates me.

That is all I can think of right now.

Much love to everyone, Carole
