asutton,
Would you want to share your experience, your age, your situation?

I left the hospital on June 10th after receiving three units of blood. Two months later I know I have limited time on this planet, but I am feeling great with no pain. I am trying to do some writing for my children, sharing memoies of my childhood and family stories such as my great grandmother dying from an "allergic reaction to chokecherries and milk" when my grandfather was an infant. I remember being chased by a rooster pecking at my legs and being too small to get the kitchen door open. I have accessed some online newspapers from the eighteen hundreds which are interesting, having grown up in rural Red River Valley of the North between Minnesota and North Dakota.

I am the last living descendent of my grandparents on both sides so I have no one to compare memories. I felt quite lonely when my last sibling died a few years ago.

I still drive at 86 and sometimes take a 93 year old friend to appointments.

asutton, how are you doing? What stage is your cancer, if you care to share your situation? I hope these last months for everyone reading this can be joyful and and as full as possibe. Peace.
