Thanks everyone for weighing in on your experience. I am trying to take one day at a time but, every so often, my mind creeps to the future and what lies ahead. I don't want to over analyze but I don't want it to blindside us either.

This weekend seemed like such a precious gift. No doctors appts, no recovery from PEG/port surgery, no treatments, Bill feeling well and able to do normal things...I stopped several times and gave thanks for all the mundane things we did... chores, laundry, golf on TV, naps....lovely! Just wish it could last!

Thanks again for your replys...anyone else got something to add?? Deb
