No tumour marker results

Probably silly but I'd psyched myself up for the monthly phone call only to hear my blood tests weren't through yet for some reason. Left me feeling deflated and in a vacuum. The oncologist is pleased I feel well, have no aparent side effects ( although I'm sure my hair feels thinner), and is scanning me next month, month four. I just felt like I'd got nothing concrete to hang on to! But I'm fine really. Going to enjoy a couple of sunny days with friends' visits in the garden.

And in addition to the masks have made a new dress in all this time I have at home- just need to go out somewhere to wear it!

What’s important is that you are feeling well and looking forward to going someplace in a dress you made. My mother sewed a lot of outfits for me and my sisters when she was still alive. Alas, I can’t sew. I’m wearing one of her “creations” now while I’m writing this. I miss her.

Too bad she did not teach you how to sew. I would like to know something like that and be able to make my own clothes. Or you could even start a home business and make these new face masks that are being sold on Etsy and other computer sites. Unfortunately, I have no creative talents. I wish I could paint...that would be relaxing. Or draw. I have yet to find anything I am good at. I am 60 and still can't even cook a hamburger in my apartment without it being burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. My friends bring their own food when they visit me bc they won't eat my cooking and I don't enjoy it.

Hi Beryl71 -

I'm glad you're feeling well, although I can totally relate to wanting to know your lab results! Waiting for them each month makes me nuts (you sound much more sane about it than I am, though... :) ).

And how wonderful that you can sew a dress! My gosh, it must be so gratifying to create something like that! I absolutely love fabric/fabric stores but have no skills that allow me to do anything with it!

Enjoy your time in the garden with friends....Sounds wonderful!
