Can't believe it's September
Hi Folks,
Hope you enjoyed my Aug. 30 column in the Sunday Register about the Rev. William Killeen. He's so inspiring.
I apologize for not checking in so often. Covering two towns, plus writing a weekly column, is tough to do.
I've been quite tired lately, and my knees and lower back often ache. Don't know if it's the Arimidex, old age or just being overweight.
I'm trying to put together a program, to kick off in October, that will deal with weight loss for breast cancer patients and other folks. I already have one doctor willing to help but I'm open to suggestions.

Ann,
Just found your blog while spending time with my mother, who is battling gastric cancer.
I wish I had a answer to why anyone gets this cruel disease. Only God knows why, and I wish we caould find the answers.
I'll include you in my prayers tonight. Good luck.
Ann,
I just read your blog. Many months ago I stood next to you at the deli at Stop and Shop. It was so nice to speak with you. You are so down to earth.
I hope you are enjoying this sunny day and all I can say is you are in my thoughts.
My Mom has had lung cancer since about the Fall of 2002. Me and my three siblings and two nephews have all learned to live with it. When one person in the family has cancer everyone feels the effects of it. Do you know what I mean? When Mom has a tough day we all are there for her. We listen to what she has to say. It is important for her to talk about it and be heard. We appreciate our days now more so than ever before and we thank God for all we have. Cancer affects the entire family. It makes each day a special day. My Mom's cancer is probably from second hand smoke. Love and positive thoughts have helped her tremendously since she has never had chemotherapy or surgery. Meanwhile, one of my beloved sisters works in the field of oncology. We are so proud of my sister for the work she does to help others.

Hi Joe,
I'm sorry for your mother's cancer. Thank you for the prayers.
Hi Linda,
You're right about everyone in the family being affected when one has cancer. However, in my family, I'm the rock so it's like I was never sick. I would like to come to the writing group, but I'm usually working until 9 or 10, so I don't know if I can ever make it.
Ann
