Wandering, I SO understand. My dear husband is on chemo .. Stage 4 .. not curable either .. and obviously I have this MAC .. but as with you two .. we live our lives as fully as possible and has happily as possible! My husband just got back from a "road trip" with our daughter to watch our grandson who is in his college senior year play his final game as quarterback for his football team. They drive 7 hours each way! This ends a nine year journey of road trips for the two of them .. a bittersweet trip for the two of them .. great talks and great fun! All a part of living our lives to the fullest while we can.

We also are each others best support system. As we say: Our kids love us .. our grandkids love us .. but as three in the morning .. It's just you and me Babe! That tells it all! You and I are indeed blessed to have that support system .. MANY do not. Are you aware there is a Mayo Clinic Connect for Breast Cancer? There you may find the same kind of wonderful support we have on our Forum for our MAC people?? Maybe check it out? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/breast-cancer/ Sending you a hug! Katherine

Yes, I think I was on the breast cancer connect. Don't know what happened and I think I might not now be on the blog but I'll check on the link. We don't have any children and nobody from my family knows about me except my sister. For me that's the best thing - no need for everyone to worry. We have spent this summer in doctors offices, clinics, labs and hospitals. He had a stent and skin cancer surgery and I had my usual stuff. I was wondering how we would spend our time after we retired - didn't think we would be doing that but here we go.
Heading for Arizona on Friday for the winter. Right now it's 60 degrees in Montana. It's usually snowing by now.

Wandering, good luck to you .. I am sending you lots of positive energy and a hug .. hope things go well for you! Katherie

Enjoy Montana! It is my dream state for retirement although I don't know how I could stand the cold. I spent a week in Helena doing research. What a beautiful town. Enjoy life. I say this to myself too. Best, Kathryn
