Farewell to s/v Don't Look Back!

I am happy to report that I am gaining energy everyday and that chemo on Thursday was a breeze!  We arrived at the Infusion Center for my 8:30am appt. with the first hour pre-meds Benedryl and Aloxi IV, then 60 mins. Taxol IV.  I got a wonderful neck and shoulder massage that actually put me to sleep and before I knew it, my nurse Peggy was waking me up to go home!!  We left the center at 10:30am--nice!!
I slept for a couple hours when we got home, but felt really good the rest of the day and have continued to feel good!!  I am so happy to have the IP port drama behind me and feel so confident in kicking cancer's butt now!
Thank you Kelly, for the fabulous tropical floral arrangement-made us feel like we were back in the Caribbean!

The past week has been so normal for me!  Lunch in San Francisco with Chelsea, my sister in law Cindy and friend Carole, shopping at the Stonestown Mall, too!  I got my dress for our daughter Jenn's wedding and a wig!!  My oldest childhood friend, Janet Bench Bell, came for a visit yesterday and we went out to lunch to celebrate her birthday.  We have known one another since birth!  It was so fun to catch up on all her sisters and kids and reminisce about our childhood.

Bittersweet though is the news that our home of the past four years, S/V Don't Look Back, has sold!!  The closing date is June 15 and we are so lucky to have such a great broker and his wife, who will pack our personal belongings tomorrow and ship them to us so John doesn't have to leave me again.  We are lucky to have sold so quickly and it saves us so much drama!  We have so many wonderful memories of our time cruising and thousands of pictures to remember every experience.  We will now start looking at condos/townhouses in the area as we feel the need to have a home base.  We still plan to go to France next summer and also plan to buy an RV to land cruise, but want a little "home" to come back to, also!
Thank you to my sister in law Anita, for the darling hats she made for me!  So, thanks for checking in, for the many wonderful cards I receive and all the love you continue to shower me and John with ~ we are so grateful!
