and that it was, in a good way! As Friday was my last day for chemo pills, I begin to feel better and better. Everyday I think, if I can always feel like this it would be terrific and then the next day I feel even better woohoo!
Sorry for no pics but my computer is not completely up and running yet, so I can't access photos from the weekend. Stay tuned!

Saturday started out by Ray and I attending the Colon Cancer Forum sponsored by the BC Cancer agency. Poor Ray, he worked all night and then took me to the forum. Lots of good info, nothing really mind blowing but definitely a confirmation of the chosen route I am taking and more research to be done and more questions for my dr. this week.
One thing that I was contemplating while I was there was why aren't there more seminars that promote the ability for people to avoid getting cancer through diet and nutrition? Everywhere we go they speakers encourage people to avoid specific foods. They talk about how North America has the highest cancer rates in the world because of our diets. But still a lot of us choose the foods that are not good for us due to the perception of a lack of time. hmmmmm
Well to continue on for my 'one' crazy weekend...Saturday night we celebrated the start of what seemed like my birthday weekend. Ray gave me an amazing computer and the Clarks brought over a yummy pumpkin cheesecake and some really 'me' clothes. I think in the future I will just give my girls some $ and they can shop for me. They both have really good taste.
Then Sunday arrives for our '5' birthday celebration. What a hoot! I LOVE the level of noise and the funny thing was it was the adults celebration. The kids weren't opening presents the adults were. I was blown over by the amazing artwork from the grandkids and life is always great when you get gardening goodies. I shall start reading the 'book of awesome' soon and I anticipate some revelations from that one.
This blog has been evolving and I think it will evolve more yet. I shall go and start my morning routine of journalling, smoothies, fruit and yogurt, tai chi, and meditation and then start my day. This week I begin to prepare my body and mind for lab work, dr. appt and the start of another round of chemo. Hard to believe another round is done and finished.
Over the next 3 days I will try and finish 'city hall' and begin the base for my next project but that will depend on the cooperation of the dreary rain and getting some rest to prepare for Friday's chemo. I had 'one' crazy weekend that will make me smile for many days to come thanks to, and I know you've heard this but it NEVER gets said enough in my opinion, my amazing family!
