OT Doing well

[HVAC]

I am doing well with Cancer treatment. I have now had 23 rounds of chemo. My 24th might be it for a awhile. I am trying for study using Parp inhibitors. It is the latest experimental treatment. Even if I get the placebo it is a break from chemo. I think the chemo helps the progression of MS. I have little issues of MS in the past years. We are planning a trip to Europe. My godmother's (not related), who died in 1963, family has a castle I want to visit Scloss Laugenburg. My doctor told me to do things I want to do now. I have a day of uncontrolled nausea a month. Otherwise I would not know I am sick. I am still working on training Fiona our 10 month old deaf dalmatian. We call her the tornado. Polly my deaf dalmatian service dog is 13. She has been a great helper.

I am happier than I have ever been. I have accepted my illnesses. I see that there are others in worse states than me. I live every day to the fullest.

I hope everyone is doing there best with their symptoms. MS really stinks. Polio used the most common crippler now it is MS. My two mottos are True contentment comes when you play the hand you are dealt and It is not what happens to you in life it is what you do about it.

I love happy news!  So glad things are going well, you deserve it!!  I don't think there is any medicine a person could take that is stronger than your attitude towards life!

The trip sounds fantastic, I hope you have the best time and are able to enjoy it to it's fullest!

The trip sounds like a terrific idea Alex. I have seen a few castles in the UK and they are usually really cold so wrap up well.

You are the one person that seems to keep me grounded because when I sit back and have an "I feel sorry for me moment" I am reminded that I am actually pretty lucky.

Hugs,

Karry.
