My way to connect with friends and family, thank them for all their support, and keep them up to date on my fight against cancer. Of course, I'll toss in my thoughts on everything else ;)

A heron on the C & O Canal
Wow, two great days in a row. No chemo after-effects so far. This morning, John and I did four miles at one of my favorite spots on the C & O Canal, Violette's Lock. We saw turtles, cormorants, an osprey, butterflies, fish, Canada geese, and herons galore. Why does anyone need a zoo when we have so much wildlife just minutes from some of our biggest cities?
I'm a writer, animal lover, nature freak, and longtime activist dealing with her third bout of cancer. This time it's leukemia. It's a long story but the leukemia originated with my breast cancer treatment in '03. Despite my bad luck with chemo, I'm trying it again (a different type), hoping it will slow the progression of my current disease. But I'm also looking into alternative treatments. Any suggestions?
