@mtt, I'd like to add my welcome. Congrats on hiring a cleaning service. More time to focus on the things you love to do. Traveling is something I love to do too, but it has been curtailed for the time being. Be sure to adopt safety measure when traveling during COVID, especially if you blood counts are lower due to treatment.
@mom23boys, I remember when I first saw your username I thought "what 23 boys? Is she a hockey coach?" Took me a while to figure out that your a mom to three boys, right? I'm glad you're still able to hike, albeit shorter routes.

Thank you for the welcome and advice on traveling.I will take the same precautions as I do at home. Last year we cancelled our trip to Florida and NC because of Covid. In the end we might have to cancel again. But how many years are we going to let this disease keep us from doing what we want to do. I think it would be good to get some vitamin D too and I don't get enough (except for a supplement) living in WI!🙄

Hi Colleen! Yes, I remember your response and I thought "yeah, I guess that could mean I'm a foster mom or coach". Glad to see you are still out here plugging along. I'm not around as much as I was after diagnosis (april 2019). It's nice to see familiar names and be able to chime in and maybe help some of the very new girls with their questions. I''m so fortunate to be doing good on the Ibrance, Letrozole, Xgeva combo as my first line of treatment. My youngest son will be graduating H.S. in May and is heading to College (a local one) with a full-tuition scholarship. That was one of my biggest concerns in the beginning; not being here to see him graduate. I'm also planning on jogging across the 60 year birthday line in September and breaking a sort of family curse. My mother died at 59 of lung cancer and my mother-in-law at 59 of breast cancer. 60 is important, but of course I plan on going much further.
You take care!!!! Peggie
