It's very gloomy here weather wise and have had very little sunshine to lift spirits. Denise is going to the lab today for her pre-chemo blood test to insure her cell count is high enough for a treatment. She's considering getting the hormone patch to help with the hot flashes (she was "thrown" into menopause when her ovaries were removed). Chemo treatments also cause hot flashes so a double dose can be challenging.
We're going to take a drive to find some sunshine and maybe see the ocean which is always incredibly spiritual and healing.
Denise has all her get well cards posted on her bedroom door (the whole door is covered and will now start on the hallway) and when she's a little gloomy she reflects on the encouraging comments. And for the all the wonderful, supportive blog comments, they come directly to her on her phone so she receives those immediately.
In the last 24 hours, we received word that 3 of our friends are now challenged with cancer. With that I pray for healing for all--Joan/Mom

Hi Denise. We agree it has been pretty gloomy around the valley. We also have been thinking about finding some sunshine. Once in a while we drive up to Hogan Lake. We get a sandwich in Valley Springs and take it along with a Becks beer and 7up and sit and watch the birds or whatever come along. It's relaxing. Hope you find a spot to relax and heal. Praying for you and your friends. Love you.
I am so sorry about Denise having those hot flashes, they are not easy, I have gone through them without anything, because my cancer feeds on Hormones. I hope you found a sunny spot today, I dont like this fog either. Sometimes I feel cancer is epidemic, alot of people are going through it, it is sad, they need to find a cure. I am praying for all of you. Love
Always thinking of you and praying for you all. Love all of you!

For some reason, sounds like something Matt Shumway would say. =) Thinking about you today and hoping you got to see the ocean.
Love you!
