← Return to CLL, Spontaneous Regression

My passion is in landscaping, focusing on flowers. I have no doubt my love of nature, which I expanded to the fullest after my diagnosis with CLL- hours daily, helped my recovery. I was grateful and appreciative of every minute I got to spend outside in this glorious world. Greatful for the time I have. Yet, I never had advanced to the stages where fatigue, dibiltating treatments or pain from CLL was an issue. When living with pain and fatigue fighting the depression and misery would be hard even if one was able to be active gardening.

I worked as the horticulturist for two different Northwoods lodge type resorts in Minnesota back in the 90s. Had to move back to Georgia to help with elder care and the heat was too much to continue that type of work. I do miss the beauty and more moderate summers but I went to massage school and practiced deep tissue for 20 years. Now retired but I miss that too!

Thank your for sharing these beautiful photos of summertime blossoms…as I sit here this afternoon with the temperatures struggling to get out of the 30s! The leaves are off the trees and winter isn’t far behind in the far north woods of Wisconsin.
Your landscaping is gorgeous! It’s so rewarding to spend time with the soil between your fingers out in the fresh air and sunshine. I love listening to my garden with the hum of the bees & birds and the wind playing with the leaves and petals. I agree with you that nature is healing and I’m so happy for you that you’ve been able to continue playing in your gardens!
