Ah, family. The other day during a phone call my mother said to me with a note of envy in her voice ‘you’re getting skinny (I’m not) while I’m getting fat (she’s not), because I can’t exercise like I used to’ she’s 85! I then spent the next 30 minutes listening to her moan about how ageing is sooo terrible. She still lives independently and plays croquet twice a week, gardens etc etc. I’ve round 4 of dose dense AC chemo next week which will be followed by 12 rounds of weekly chemo , then surgery in Feb, followed by 45 days of radiation. Yeah, ageing really sucks! Ha, ha, sometimes I make my husband make the duty call, cause it’s exhausting!
