I managed to finish up my brain zaps on Halloween. Whew! Thank goodness it is over. I was oddly able to sound the jumbo bell that announces I’m done (for now) with a nurse escort. Thank you to everyone who played a part!
Two parts done and only infusions & images left to cross off my list..for now. Plus you know that other “stuff that is on my temporary schedule”. Eye exams, learning how to swallow again (yes, that again. Resorting my pants drawer and where to hang my hats? Darn those delightful kick-butt hats! Love them and hate them. Now where to put them?
My awesome sweetheart is testing my patience, again. Is it from all the brain activity I’ve had over the last few weeks making me feel very vulnerable? My mega doses of sleep I have been getting/not getting? Who really knows which one or which grouping? I know I’m beat up for endless reasons. Frustrating galore! Very frustrating actually.
Today, I am casually parked at my small kitchen table. Ready to encounter most casual easy-peasy things that come my way. Simple is key.
I’am slowly recovering from my 2nd Keytruda infusion last week. “Ugh” to put it lightly. i’m moving around…a little. I am smiling, hoping that this gunk is going to work. Time will tell.
Aquarius vs. Cancer 
God bless you. What a horror you are enduring. Thank goodness people in cancer land can truly empathize with you. Thank you for sharing. ❤️🙏

Hope your Thanksgiving and rest of your month went well and you are feeling if not a lot, a little better. Wishing you and your family the merriest of Christmases. You are one tough cookie.
Hello Shannon, Your comment reminds me of a cookie-cookbook I bought a while back which is excellent! I’d go out and get one if you don’t already have it in your cupboard. The Perfect Cookie by America’s Test Kitchen It is great for foolproof cookies, brownies & bars. I spent lots of time in a Target isle looking at pictures of tasty sugary treats.

Thanks for the recommendation! I definitely need help in the cookie cooking department! Now soup I am good at – but baking not so much 🙂 Hope your Christmas was lovely 🙂
Happy New Year! Hope all is going well with you!
Sincerely,
A long-time lurker 🙂
Clearly I am VERY behind. xoxo Kim
Hi! Thinking of you
Hello G! xoxo
Hello Kim,
I have been reading your blog and am truly inspired by you! I live in Vancouver WA and was diagnosed with NSCLC in Feb. 2018. Thank you for giving us all hope and being brutally honest. This can be quite taxing on all of us. I hope this note finds you well!
Donna Hunting
Thank you for your comments Donna. xoxo
Hi Kim,
I have been reading your blog which is truly inspiring. I wanted to thank you for being honest and letting everyone know LUNG CANCER SUCKS! I live in Vancouver WA (not BC lol) and am trying to find local people who are struggling with this invasion with me. I was diagnosed in Feb. 2018 with NSCLC Stage IV. Trying to spread the word that if you have lungs you can get lung cancer. Smokers and non smokers.. cancer does not discriminate!
You are truly inspiring! I hope this note finds you well!
Sincerely,
Donna Hunting
Hi Donna, Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Lung cancer is bothersome at best. Please continue
to read and post comments. xoxo
Me too, post something sweetheart
Howdy Melanie- I hope you are smiling today! xoxo
