Things people say to you when you have cancer.

Hello people, Today I am sharing with you a few of the things people have said to me over the past few years. I am no intending this to be a mean spirited video. It is simply what people have said. It never ceases to amaze me how people will just openly tell you things that they believe to be helpful but really are insensitive. Feel free to leave your comments below. Thanks for stopping by, Leslie

Out with the old and in with the new.

Hello My friends!
2016 has been a wild ride.  We have been through a crazy political circus, terrorism, celebrity deaths, advances in cancer research and finally a more importantly, there has been a new awareness that SGK is more  of a fund raising slush fund than a arm to funding  research. Through the past year I have had illness, and health.  One of the best parts of my year has been getting to know all of YOU.  So many of you have reached out through social media.  It gives me such joy to hear your stories, and see how  you are LIVING with mets.  I just want to grab you all up into a big group hug.  Perhaps in the new year we could arrange a meta-thriver meet up.  That would be lovely.  I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and enjoy an amazing New Year!
hugs to you all,

What do I think of bucket lists?

Well hello there my dear friends,
It has sure been a while since I have written a post, or filmed a Youtube video.  I believe the last time I uploaded was in May during a visit to the Chicago museum of art. That was one of the Most lovely times I have enjoyed with my whole family.  It was an amazing time, My daughter graduated from Uni. at Loyola in the morning, my son was here with his future wife visiting for the occasion.  So after the graduation we set forth and took on the city of Chicago, going to the Museum, walking in the park, enjoying the best food the city had to offer.  It was a blast.  An incredible memory and one of the few items I have on my bucket list.  Many people have ideas about travel or sky diving or even some thing simple like Disney.
Those have never been my bucket items.  From the  moment I found out I had  mets bc, I knew my bucket list would only have a few items.  Enduring ones non the less.
I wanted to see my daughter graduate from University.
I want to …
