I’ve been trucking along nicely with life. I’m on a break from chemo, because a couple of weeks ago my blood counts were very low. My doctor told me to hold off on the chemo pills, but to still get the intravenous treatment so that is what I did. Man it’s felt good to feel… Read More It’s good to feel good.
