Many months have past

I have to apologize for my absence. So many things have happened. I suppose other than my trip to Europe with my Mom the most notable is that I was diagnosed with cancer in August. I know some jaws will drop over this but please understand that it was a huge blow (how could it not be!) and D~ and I have had to come to grips with it. The long and the short of it is that it was very, very early uterine cancer. I have a hysterectomy 7 weeks ago. I have a wonderful Oncologist (he was the surgeon too), the cancer was confined to the uterus. The lymph nodes were totally clear and he has not recommend any sort of chemo. I am now in to full blow menopause--which has challenges of its own. I am totally healthy and will remain. There is no reason to think that I will have anything else.

I think that was enough to chew on, don't you think?

I'll leave you with a few pictures from my trip to Europe. It was a cruise on the Danube, from Budapest, Hungary to Nuremberg, Germany.
