Happy Valentines Day everyone!!

My CT scan was fine. By that I mean it is good news because there has been no change, either shrinking or growing. So it's still good. It's all of those positive vibes all of you send my way.

Unfortunately I have developed this shallow breathing which one specialist diagnosed as bronchial spasms. He has prescribed more medications for this and he'll follow up in a month to see how I'm doing. Morphine (very low dose) has been recommended by other health professional as a tool I could use to ease my breathing. It really would be great to get out of the house and attempt a walk. Right now I'm pretty much housebound but not because of the weather this time.

I'll be staying on my course of oral chemo (Tarceva) until my next visit with my oncologist the middle of March. By then I will have had another CT scan to see how things are shaping up.

Everyone here is fine. Amber just returned to Toronto and she will be moving back to Vancouver sometime in the spring. This makes my heart sing!!! Liz is travelling in India with her boyfriend for three weeks and Stephen is still in town. Hoppy is working himself to the bone. He is so terrific I just can't find words to express my feelings around all he is doing. He could use some help and I hope I can arrange something soon.

I am now going to the Callanish Centre which has the services that I need at the moment. It's a non-profit and the folks there are very knowledgeable and compassionate. You can check them out at www.callanish.org if you're curious. There are a lot of resources available to me and I'm using the ones I feel I need.

I had a lovely visit from my sister-in-law from Toronto. It really lifted my spirits to spend some time with her. Thank you ME.

Many of you have emailed me and I haven't gotten back to you. Please forgive me for not responding but keep the emails coming. I love hearing from folks and I consider myself very lucky to have all of you as friends.

Remember on Friday, "Love the one you'e with." Have some chocolate on me!!
