Hi - yes the sunshine sure helps - stiffness today so tomorrow will be better
Glad you got out - yes, I find it handy to have those indoor quiet time projects for when you just can't muster the energy for something more - I was photo sorting this week
It is a short night check in for me today - late dinner and hockey!0 -
Sorry to hear hear about your stiffness, and hoping tomorrow better. Have a lovely meal and enjoy the game ☀️🦋0

Hi;-) thinking of you all as I ruminate over being an OvCa patient...delayed chemo for a week to watch my youngest at a competition. Waiting for a CT to investigate increasing pain. Heard yesterday there may be a clinical trial...but downside is need a biopsy. I hate biopsies. So so so painful. ugh. So feeling down, and thought you could cheer me up! ha!0

So is the biopsy (or the results ) a requirement to determine if you qualify for the trial?
Not sure how I can cheer you up - hoping you can find something that brings you peace or joy / comfort to make the day better. Sending

For sure @Linda - hoping to get some more cancer specific nutrition webinar or presentation going
