@katgob Good morning, Kat! It has been a bit quiet in this group so thanks for waking us up! Happy New Year to you! Ah, the dreaded holiday scale creep! I think the old myth that calories don’t count during the holidays is false. LOL The scales tell me otherwise! Our daughter flew down to join us in our winter digs for a week over the holidays…two fold…to see her ‘elderly parents’ LOL and to escape the brutal Mpls weather for a bit. The weather could not have been more perfect here! It was actually unseasonably warm and dry so we spent a lot of time on the beach, walking, talking. There are several restaurants near us in walking distance where we can sit outside to dine. Of course we took advantage of that! Plates full of ‘non-caloric’ foods! 😂

Yesterday I received a call from my local oncologist office to set up a recall appointment in March. It will be my 7 year follow-up for my treatment of AML. The transplant would happen later at the end of June. It’s surreal to believe that 7 years ago right now I had cancer but didn’t even know it yet. It all became apparent about a month later when I was rushed to the hospital holding on by a toenail. Better living through chemistry! 2019 was a rough year but a new beginning to my life. There hasn’t been a day of regret or looking back over my shoulder.

I’m happy for you that you’re doing so well, Kat. You’ve paid your dues in the world of cancer journeys for sure! Now’s the time to continue to enjoy each day! Thank you for always being so encouraging and honest about your experiences. Squeezing through the ipad screen to give you a hug!! ☺️
Good luck with all your test results on the 23…not that you need it! I know they’re going to be stellar!
