Hi, Sylvie — I haven’t been back to your blog here for a while — but since I have just come through a total hysterectomy and have just started my chemo, you popped into my mind. More power to you, lassie, for coming through all of this and I had quite a chuckle reading your poem.

I think chemo brain has got me today — my fingers and thoughts are stretched way too much to leave the typos behind! However, I thought I’d leave a link to my story about my hysterectomy and subsequent treatment– I don’t do diary writing, but I know how much it has helped and inspired me to have some insider information on what to expect and so I hope that I can help others to get through this too.

I’ve been very lucky so far but as this is only day three after my first chemo, I realise there’s a whole lot more experience to come.

Thinking about Michel and you as I write this — love from Scotland,
Margaret MacGillivray

You are great inspiration Sylvie! From the bottom of my heart I think what you are doing is fantastic and you help me realize what my mother is going through and how hard it is for some people!

Cancer took my mother and now my sister. I refuse to think of the odds. I find comfort in the positive experiences of others and the opportunity to laugh a bit and cry a bit — to return the favor:

As October is Breast Cancer Month, I commend to you a book review written by my wife Janice and myself http://bit.ly/3EdLp8 . The article is about a promising new writer Sandra Crawford* whose book ‘In the Arms of the Beloved: a journey through Breast Cancer’ has just come out.

Blessings, Ed Hird+

Your article made me understand more what my mom is experiencing. Sometimes she gets into my nerves for acting so weird and for worrying too much. Your article is an eye-opener for me and it makes me see her condition in a different light. Thank you.

Hey Sylvie,

Hadn’t visited your blog in a while, so came over here and saw your “12 Days of Christmas” remake. Laughed hard. Hilare! (as my step-daughter says). Someday we’ll have to sit down compare notes. I have quite the menopausal story to tell. Nothing like yours, of course, but I don’t know how that gradually gliding into menopause thing works. Perhaps there are women so lucky. I’ve been going through it for fifteen years and my poor husband married me anyway, so I can really relate to the “husband who tolerates me” part!

Hope all is well in your world.

Shawn
