The problem with starting and continuing a blog is that one needs to have a topic. Finding a topic isn’t difficult, but sticking with the topic…well, that’s the issue. I was born with the last name of Anderson and I married into the last name of Zieser. A to Z is often considered “everything under…

All my life I’ve been trying to find my way…to follow the rules (failing) and doing the right thing (mostly). I struggled and felt shame and never felt like I fit the mold, then I got lost. After years of caring for my husband, he passed away and I was left lost. I went to…

Like all successful teams, we’ve learned to identify and utilize our individual strengths…

Steve and I are sitting here watching recorded episodes of Top Chef and realized that after probably 8 months, his chronic cough is gone! He also noticed that he’s breathing much easier. This is such a wonderful realization, we just had to share. (smile)

Heading back up to Mayo this morning. It will be a much shorter trip this time. Will be spending nine hours in a chemo room tomorrow, but we’ll have internet, a tv, and each other so we’ll be fine. Steve feels bad that I will be spending my birthday this way, but I feel honored…

The first 24 hours of BBI406 (I mistakenly posted this as BB1406 earlier) went pretty well. There were some digestion issues, but no nausea until this morning and that seemed to pass quickly. This is just one of the drugs Steve will be taking…he’ll start the next one in four days. We will need to…
