Happy Halloween all ghouls and globlins

Thank you for checking back on this  frightful night of Halloween.  Bless those who won't or can' t be celebrating.   Tis a night that lends itself to gallows humor!  My sister has suggested going to the library instead of purchasing books from now on!  And, no books with more than 200 pages!  One of the items going in my gratitude journal is short-term magazine subscriptions!  I hope this kind of humor is not offensive to you because I find that laughter truly does help ease the pain.  If any of you have some humorous ditties you would like to share with me, please send them along.  Matthew dressed up in a bunny costume and won 2 awards today at school...one for the "funniest costume" and one for "best over-all".  It truly fits his demeanor!  Jonathan dressed up as Hillary Clinton with a beard and mustache!  Don't ask!  On a more serious and medical note the recent CT scan showed more lesions on my liver and growths on some of the existing lesions.  So for several reasons I now have a knew chemo cocktail.  I'm back on the Avastin and Xeloda and Novalbine have joined the short list.  My body has been mapped out for upcoming radiation targeting a couple spots on my vertebrae.   In all honesty, a couple of housekeeping issues...given the entire family has now adopted my sleep hours, please refrain from calling after 7:00 p.m. or before 8:30 a.m.  As much as I appreciate the love coming my way one message/call per day will suffice and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.    Good night all my angels.  I feel and cherish the strength of your love and well wishes.  Forever in gratitude and love, Sheryl
