Yeah, I think the Chemo brain excuse has a short half-life till people start to question it Laughing.

Time is relevant. I have been in the shadow in Midday and in the light at midnight. What shines to light our thoughts is grace. I don't know what else to say. For all those who walk this road. I am tired, very tired BUT I still put one step in front of the next.
Love to you sll
Dorothy

Having done both, I don't know which is harder, having cancer, or watching a loved one go through it.

Stay strong, Dorothy.

Same here; I have been on both sides. Both are hard in their own way. It is not easy to be sick but it is also not fun to see someone you love suffering. I saw both of my parents in a great deal of suffering and always wished I could carry their pain.

Dorothy,
so glad that John is having a good time and things are going well, thank goodness for the friend that is with him, wonderful that he is giving that support. I would also think this is a good break for both of you. I know you're really busy with the packing and moving - but sometimes a different set of stresses can be a relief in itself.

I also pray that things go better for you both in Perth with a new medical team.

Take a break for yourself when you get there - go get a massage or something - you deserve it!

Cheers
DulcimerGal
