On 01.02.02, I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Too late for surgery, I had chemotherapy, which failed. In May the chemotherapy was changed and I was soon in remission which was celebrated and welcome and lasted nine years - until October 2011. There was progression in 2011 so more treatment was indicated and I am now back in partial remission. But I'm not only a cancer patient - I also enjoy my family, walk my dogs and am learning to draw and paint. Life is good!

When I get to be this thin



My day didn't really get started until about 11:00 this morning, but it didn't really end until 9:00 this evening. By then I was tired, but determined to add one page to my sketchbook. So I plopped in front of CNN and grabbed a copy of the latest Coldwater Creek catalog, my favorite, and sort of drew one of their offerings. I would love to wear skinny jeans, a crisp white shirt and a colorful jacket .... add it to my list of goals for 2008.
