  • Hello @linda and @kastoyles
  • Hi ladies ! Just stopping by to say hello. And I hope you are all doing well.
    Enjoying the milder weather while I’m recovering from radiation for a recurrence that was causing pain. Fingers crossed it works. Won’t find out for another few weeks coz we have to let the radiation work so they scheduled a scan for June 20. In the meantime I’m ok to travel, so I’m going over to Scotland to visit my sister and family. My nephew and wife just had a baby girl in February so Great Auntie Linda will be holding her in a couple of weeks - I can’t wait !! 
  • doing well thanks! Had a scare with a recent mammogram. Had to have a retake today and the spot is gone!
  • Hi @kastoyles that’s great news ! 😊

  • @Linda - yes I'm quite relieved. We are moving on June 1st and have enough on my plate right now.

  • Hi everyone ! I’ve been away in Scotland for 4 weeks visiting family and meeting my great niece Grace who is 3 months old. I wasn’t able to connect here because of the time difference, but I did think of you all.  I’m back now and ready to face the music with a CT scan on Thursday Jun 20. I see oncologist on Jun 24 for result of scan and to decide on the next step. I hope you are all well 🦋
