doing just fine. I'm half-way through the chemo and my tumour markers
are well into normal. The drugs that accompany the chemo really stimulate
the appetite (not that I've EVER had any trouble in that area) - but that,
coupled with a much lower activity level, have caused both of us to pack
on a few pounds! (Rick is doing "sympathy chemo" - he's being supportive
by gaining the weight and hanging out with me, not taking the drugs:))</font> <font face="Lucida Console">I'm
at my Mum's house (a few hours away), so have access to a computer for
the first time since my surgery. I'll only be here until tomorrow
morning, at which time I'll log Mum off the listserve. I just needed
to jump on and take this opportunity to wish you all a very wonderful and
festive holiday season.</font> <font face="Lucida Console">With much
