After my x-ray last week it was determined that my cancer was not responding to the latest treatment…a pill called Tarceva. So we are back to a chemo treatment ( Taxotere). This will be the third time I’ve had to take a deep breath in to find strength to renew my resolve to regain my health. I will exercise more, eat better and put more balance into my life.
During my last stretch of chemo I found it helpful to invite friends and family to join me a night or two before the chemo in a sweet treat to smash the cancer. What ever town and state you are in pause and join me in a little fun as I make my way to health. Many believe that eating sugar feeds the cancer cells helping them grow. Whether this is positively true or not, I know it certainly does not hurt me to cut way back on my sugar intake. That is my goal but to add a little balance (and fun!) why not enjoy a sweet treat right before zapping those cancer cells with a heavy chemical. Last round of chemo we enjoyed ice cream, cheese cake, cookies, brownies to name a few. I seem to be in the ice cream mode lately. Maybe it’s the hot weather.
Send me pictures, if you like, of you and yours enjoying a sweet treat together. I will put them up on the site or not….just let me know. We can all smile together…laughter being the best medicine.
Thank you for your love and support!

My favorite walk…hike really is Gap Mountain, right here in Fitzwilliam. I’ve hiked it with my sister, Bonnie, my boys, Matt, Dan & Andrew, my Dad, my brother and our B&B friends, Rob & Paula. I have even coerced Andrew into a hike up Gap Mountain. In fact, our walk with Rob and Paula ended in a run to the car in an attempt to beat a thunder storm. My lungs were truly tested. We did not out run the storm. We did arrive home safe and well exercised.
