Hi Lori, My blood looked good, but positive for CLL. I'm at stage 0 (Zero). Monitoring with blood work every 6 months. No cure, but have excellent drugs if problems begin. Live normal life, except for blood work. I'm so relieved. After the call, talked with hubs and we decided to not make any changes in our lives. Just have the blood drawn as required and to live. That's all any of us can do. My best friend gave me a key chain with a medallion that says "A wise woman once said f**k this sh*t, and lived happily ever after. She said that should be my philosophy going forward. That works for me, I may not be able to beat it, but I'm lucky to have found it at level zero. Medical advances are being made every day, one of these days, it will be our turn. Until then we will carry on as best we can. Thanks for checking, I will keep looking in here for the days that are not quite so upbeat.

The gift your friend gave you had me giggling. I have the same quote on a little wall hanging. Exactly the right attitude to have because worrying about what the future will hold is just a thief of precious time.

I’m happy for you that the news was good and expected. Definitely pop in for an attitude adjustment or anytime for a visit. ☺️
