Life is short for everyone. Cancer patients are just reminded of it more often. So HAVE fun!

Got all ready to meet up with Lynne_I_Am and had car trouble... Oh well, at least my tiara is on straight!

My sister and I having fun fishing on my birthday!

This is how I spent my recent birthday! Salmon fishing on Puget Sound. It was wet and wild but so much fun. My sister and brother came with me and all three of us caught our limits within 2 hours. This is a wild salmon, not hatchery-raised. All of the fish tasted so good.

This is the face of chemo. I am in the midst of treatment for recurrent stage IV ovarian cancer. My platelets are low but I still feel decent.

I start chemo again on Wednesday so my sweet boyfriend took me out for a steak dinner (cooked rare) at one of our favorite restaurants. It was a lovely evening and a great meal. I don't look like I have recurrent platinum-resistant stage IV ovarian cancer, do I? Looks can be deceiving!

This is my dog Ozzy. When I show him, his hair is trimmed quite short. He's covered with short, tight curls and I trim him myself. It's a lot of work and I wasn't able to do it much during my recent chemo.
