Not Kicking High, but Still Kicking!

Just a quick update... it has been over 2 years since diagnosis, I had a successful Stem Cell Transplant, and am in good remission with maintenance chemo...which I will likely take for the rest of my life.

I can't do much cookie decorating because chemo and fatigue make my hands shake and I am developing some neuropathy...but still, life is good. My favorite saying is "it's better than being dead".  Must husband says I need a t-shirt and a mug with my mantra on it.  It keeps me going when I think side effects of chemo are horrible and I envision the future. It is definitely better than being dead!

Glad to see I am still getting views on my blog.  It gives me a little thrill whenever I see the numbers (I know they aren't big, but someone is out there looking!). I only check in on the blog every few months. Over 3000 views this month!  Woo hoo!  I get nothing financial, because I never advertised, but I got joy from blogging.

A friend recently asked for my Royal Icing recipe.  I realized I don't think I ever posted it.  I typed it up with a bunch of commentary. LOL - no surprise from me! The printable link is HERE. It says Print Page at the bottom of the page.  Let me know in comments if you have any issues.  My brain is foggy from chemo but I still have lots to offer from my cookie decorating experience and am happy to share.  If it is a bad day, you might not hear back from me as quickly...but I do love getting messages or comments from readers.

I'm not back to blogging... this is just a check-in to say - "HEY" and "I am alive".  My disease has recently been upgraded from a 2-5 year survival rate to 3-7 years...I fully intend to be the person that breaks survivability records.  #CancerSucks

Still wearing FLIP FLOPS!!!
