Thank you, bjm! (Btw, I love Pittsburgh. Visited in Nov 2015 and had a great time.)

My doctor told me to switch to soft foods today. Will do so. I love mashed potatoes. 14 treatments and 20 more days to go.

Need to remember how lucky I am to have these treatments and hopefully the cancer won't return.


Keep fighting friends!
