Kiwi- STAY POSITIVE until you are given a real reason not to be! I'm sure you are still UND, don't put any unnecessary stress on yourself. Didn't mean to scare anyone with my terrible story. It is what it is, though. I'm sure YOU are fine. And ya know, I'm still ok. I was pissed at the world for about one day. I have my moments where it really hits me, but geez...I'm relatively young (37,) very healthy otherwise, and I live an amazing life with a loving family. I'm alright. Things aren't perfect, but they are pretty damn good. Thankful for who and what I have. I wasted 9 months of my life being depressed, miserable, lost most of my hair, yelled at my kids, slept too much....but it's over. I tried. That's all I could do. I live life to the fullest every single day. I really do. I hope YOU do, too.
HUGS from Hawai'i!

So so happy for you Kim. I feel much better too. My husband and children are also very happy to have their oldblankstare wife and mum back. Isn't it funny how we got used to tx 'normal'. This normal is sooo much better. Congrats on getting to the end and thank you for your support and welcome when I first started, you made a big difference to my initial sense of shock and aloness(if that's even a word). Super dooper xx

Isn't it wonderful? I only wish Renee was caught up with us. But she will catch up soon. All you folks still fighting the hard fight, hang in there. The relief is rapid and intense. I have 12-week post treatment labs on Monday, so my feet are back on the ground, but I have been floating for weeks. Alan
