Okay, so for the past six months or so, we've been engaged in a journey together, my dear blog supporters. And so far, it's been a good journey (despite the topic-- namely, me with late stage lung cancer) -- how could it not be, with people like you on my side?.
But starting today, through when I have my next scan (not sure when...maybe 2 months from now?) -- I don't want to talk about MY cancer anymore. I feel really good on the Alimta, and frankly, need to have this time to learn how to live with cancer more like a chronic illness than a death sentence.
I will still post on cancer -- we're doing some great PSA's (thanks to the prodigious talents of Matt and Vandy) that I want you to hear --and I am hoping to do a cool photoshoot with my very talented friend Tara so Jack (Dr. West) will have some great shots for the Grace website...but MY cancer? That's off limits for the next little bit. I want to really enjoy this holiday season...it seems like a long time since I have felt this NORMAL, and I want to take full advantage of it.
So be prepared for lots of Lucie and Matt posts, and just general Peterson family merriment. It's the holidays, and there is much to be grateful for and to celebrate that doesn't always revolve around stupid little cancer cells that harsh everyone's mellow.
Love you people. Melissa

I couldn't say it better, my friend.
Doug and I have a saying that "Yes, the Big C is a PART of our lives, but not the only or most important part of our lives."
I agree - let's celebrate the season and all the fabulous people in our lives.
Love you,
Laurie
So how 'bout them Cougs?

If the elephant peeks from under the carpet, we'll serve him up with a nice chutney, and wash him down with eggnog. Happy 4 days before Thanksgiving!
i'm 100% on board and will be just as religious with my reading so you keep it up! xoxo
What cancer?
