Whenever I come here, I always feel that I'm just a few car lengths in front of you -- just a little further down the road. I remember those first 3 month check ups. I'd hold my breath until the blood test results came in with the cancer marker things. Gradually (VERY gradually) I settled into a less nervous state. Now, 3 years out, I still walk into the cancer center a little in awe of all that has happened and wonder all the ifs, the whens, and the wheres. But we walk differently, don't we???? Somehow, we've made it through "warrior training" and we know the One who walks with us will always be there. So glad for you, Vicky! Except for the night sweats, etc!!!!! I know all about that and it doesn't go away. Walgreens has a little mat called "Forever Cool." You don't have to put it in the freezer or fridge. It just stays cool. I rest my arm on that as I go to sleep and it seems to cool me off some. Sometimes, I'm soooooo HOT that it warms up, but will be cool again within an hour. Amazing! But a bag of ice works wonders, too!!!Cora from Hidden Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066244776488896258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-22261265980400534432012-08-04T10:27:59.277-05:002012-08-04T10:27:59.277-05:00Wow!!
