A lovely October weekend...

Autumn seems to have come to the TN valley and it blew in the Fred-man for his fall break.  Bless him!  He has been doing all sorts of manly things with his father - repairing gutters, cutting down trees, setting up watering systems.  Les our dear neighbor and friend spied him sawing away in the back yard and yelled, "Working up a sweat, Fred?"  Fred, never stopping his saw replied, "I'm home aren't I?"  (Poor baby boy!!!) Then, today..we all went down to see Roo - the runner girl - in Atlanta.  She ran a charity 5K this morning and came in FIRST in her age group - AGAIN!!!!  (Thanks for being a great friend and going with her so early this morning, Corey!!!!!)  We had a good time together. She got to take Fred around campus and then we were off to H-Mart for Korean Barbecue and groceries.  I am so proud of them both.

Meanwhile, there are so many patients and their families dealing with the horrors of melanoma everyday.  Incredible numbers have faced much more difficult times than I have and often with much less support. In contrast, I am doing well and have the support of each of you.  A gift. One I shall never forget or be able to repay.  You are appreciated.

However, just when you think your mouth ulcers and mucocytis have resolved, is NOT the time to have Hot Cheez-its!!!  Just something to think about.  Thought you should know.  (See Tammy? There really may be some residual damage?????) 

Much love - c
