Lita,
You are amazing! Your cooking, your sewing (was it needlepoint or embroidery), and an author too! How exciting! I'm glad that you were able to finish the book and would definitely like an autographed copy when you send them in November - preferably the whole trilogy if possible. You go girl!
I'm also so glad that you have been keeping on keeping on! One day at a time, right? You are always in my prayers.
Love n hugs,
Amy

Lita-just wanted to tell you I pray things continue to work for you and you get much much more time. Was told today I might get to Christmas but she’s not sure. The double vision and blurry vision is getting worse. Had a migraine so bad all night I wanted to die. She doesn’t think anything is working. I’m sad and trying to say bye to family and friends while I can. I guess getting the cancer in the brain fluid is the worst place. Lucky me. I wish each and all the best. Lita you are such an inspiration. Love to you all

Oh, Diana, I'm so sorry to hear tnis. My eyes blur out after a couple of minutes and I can barely see. Pretty much gave up on reading and cancelled my magazine subscriptions. And i really miss reading actual books.
My days are numbered.. They redid my kidney tests because the numbers were really elevated.
Don’t know how all tnis is going to play out yet, especially with my back.

Probably the last pumpkin I'll ever carve...Lou Seal, SF Giants mascot.

Tremendously successful book launch party for Bullmina the Courageous Bulldog Comes Home. Great food, wonderful service, and a fabulous cake by DH Cake Studios (Daphne Ho). Proceeds from today's book sales were donated to the American Cancer Society and Bulldog Rescue.
I am POOPED now. It was a LONG DAY. Time to take a nap in the La-Z-Boy ;o).

Congratulations Lita. So wonderful and I love your picture of Bullimia. Hope you have a nice restful night. As I was feeling sorry for myself yesterday I thought now “what would Lita do”. I didn’t write a book but I made some kick a*** butternut squash soup. No pictures ..all gone by tonight. Take car

Lita I recognized Lou Seal in the pumpkin even before I read the caption. Did you use a stencil or was that freehand? Either way, it’s fantastic!
0 -
Lou Seal was freehand.
Over the years, I've carved all kinds of pumpkins: Characters from Toy Story, monkeys, Teletubbies, Bananas in Pajamas, and others for my daughter.
Every year i do the classic Charlie Brown pumpkin too.

Lita, do you live near the fire that engulfed Paradise ca? Worried as I was looking up Union City Ca just the other day I reference to something else, so noted the location

I live in the city next to Lita. We aren't close to paradise, about 180 mi away, but the smoke is here all over the bay area and it's advised to stay in. This is through at least mon.

PET scan results....partially collapsed lung; metabolic activity (3's and 4's) in ribs, sacrum, scapula; and major activity and deformities in T3, thoracic and lumbar spine. Well, that explains all the back,pain I'm having.
On the bright side, they didn't see anything to worry about w..respect to my liver and kidneys.
My next BRAIN MRI, on the other hand will be. Another story 😯

Lita, just wow. So sorry for the partially collapsed lung and all the back pain and bone involvement.
Yeah for your liver and kidneys!
Thinking of you as you get ready for your next brain MRI. When is it scheduled?

Lita, glad to hear your kidneys and liver are clear. Seems you mentioned that brain mets were stable with one slightly larger. Will the chemo you are on now eventually stablize those bone mets?
How is your vision and pain?
Something tells me you will continue to plan and find ways to enjoy every single day. You are a force and you will go when you are damn ready.

Diana and Lita, keeping you in my thoughts.
[Lita, amazing cheesecake. . .]

Have to wait and talk to the MO when she gets back from vacation.
Back stuff waxes and wanes. Using MMJ for pain mgmt.

Lita, they’re right, you are a force and much admired. If it helps, my right lung has been partially collapsed since I was diagnosed in early 2017. It doesn’t cause any real issues. The back? I hope the chemo slows the blighters down and gives you some relief.
Sending a big hug from Canada. Pat.

Liver and lung sounds good. I'm so sorry you're in pain and that your MO is on vacation. Thinking of your upcoming (to be scheduled) MRI. It sounds, from this distance and over this machine of course, that you are living and enjoying your life. It's horrible to get to "know" people (as much as can be done via the Internet) in this way and for this reason, but you are truly someone worth getting to know.

Hi Lita- do you ever experience hallucinations? They lowered my steroids and they came back so they upped them again. They are so scary. So real. Hope you are doing well my friend

No hallucinations as of yet....my prayers are with you,

illimae, the picture with a whole family sitting down to eat is mine. I am sitting on the bottom right side right behind the boy with the sunglasses. That is my family minus the newest grandson. A total surprise!

Back is killing me (SUVs from PET show increases) and eyes are really bad thanks to the Paradise Lost/Camp Fire smoke in the environment. We have small, local fires too.
Nevertheless, we still have to find something to be grateful for...DD turned 25, and I'm still here to bake her a cake and celebrate the milestone.
It's a red velvet cake w.homemade cream cheese frosting.
Waiting for PCP to get back to me...it's time for an orthopedic consult. L

Great Thanksgiving day. Last PET showed NED! No trace of her TNBC Stage 4, too numerous to count, spinal and hip mets. Halaven worked for her.
