Ok, so it has taken me a while to sit down and write this. Just had too much going on!
Chemo went as chemo does!! Slow and boring. Val came with me for the first time and as usual we had a good time. It was suggested by me Pain Management Specialist to have an x-ray 
taken of my lung to ensure that I didn't have a clot in it. Of course this took bit longer than we anticipated – was put on a Stat, but you forget that emergency cases bump Stat cases. So we didn’t get our nice lunch as planned but it tasted good nonetheless. I did get a ct scan taken the following week and will get those results on Sept 30!
Sunday, Sept 19, was the 1st Annual Terry Fox Run in Coquitlam and I was honoured to have been asked to be one of the two key note speakers. The weather wasn’t the greatest, but as I said in my speech, Terry ran in far worse weather and for greater distances. I managed to
deliver the speech with a few sniffles here and there. It was great to have all my kids there plus the few extra. Shannon did a great job and took a video of the speech.
Friday, Patrick made a 6 course tasting menu for the family! It was so yummy! And I had a blast shopping with him on Thursday at Lonsdale Quay and Granville Island Market. He is an amazing chef and you can see his passion in his presentation and in the taste. The game hens were the yummiest I have ever had!!!
Saturday was our neighbour's wedding. Donna and Deni – and it was a beautiful day – the sun shone down on the bride and groom. The reception was great – and the food – Mama Mia…. 
Traditional Italian wedding – lots and lots and lots of food. We even got a little bit of dancing in – though the lungs didn’t like trying to do the twist! But we did have a slow waltz and it was wonderful.
I have a busy week coming up. Going to have coffee with Vera Monday, she used to teach me belly dancing – oh stop laughing, I was pretty good! She was far better. Time to sneak a few things from her closet – seems I did this before!! Wednesday is coffee with Kim at the CBCF and then lunch with Lori – we will have a blast as we always do. Thursday is blood work day and visit with Dr. Klimo – have lots of questions for him and hopefully he will have some answers for me and good results. And then chemo on Friday and Pat is coming with me – time to take a peek at a few hats down on the Quay. I am hoping to get a visit with Samantha, who is in hospice - maybe some sour skittles will make her feel better!

Hi Roni,
Loved seeing the video of your speech and cried along as I watched it. It was so touching. What a beautiful day it was for the wedding and I would like to see the whole dress you were... the top half looks absolutely stunning. Great color on you. i hope you get the answers to your questions. And that your test results continue to be positive. I am looking forward to seeing you and working in the garden, I hope the weather cooperates and we can actually get it done... Take care my friend,
love you
Hi there - Your social calendar leaves me breathless - you sure do get around, Good for you!!! Thanks for the link to the video - you did GOOD!!!
How was lunch with Vera today? I wasn't laughing at your belly dancing - I can totally see you do that. I can't do the twist either unless I want my knees to scream at me for the next 2 weeks..lol. Most of my foolish youth was spent on 3 inch heels and I'm paying for it - well worth it, I might add :-))
Patrick's meal sounds wonderful - there is a excellent chef in my circle of friends - every meal is artistry - SO much fun to be included in those events.
Take care and big hugs for both you and Samantha. Mavis
Haven't watche the video yet but can't wait to see it. Patrick's food sounds yummy and makes me hungry!
I hope Dr Klimo has lots of answers for you Chemo Warrior and that you get your lungs drained real soon.
Love ya darling!
