@A MyBCTeam Member I have put off these projects for too long and I just couldn't stand it anymore! My Physical therapist has a saying," movement is medicine. " We are having our annual Pumpkin Festival this coming weekend! Lots of people in town with their kids and furbaby's dressed up like all things pumpkin!🎃 I wish I could go but I can't stand for long periods of time. It'll be on the news and I get an online news letter that always has lots of pictures!😎👍 I wish they had a parade! I'll be glued to the TV watching football!!😁👍🏈❤️🤗 We are having fantastic Fall weather! Leaves are turning their beautiful bright red and orange and yellow colors! I'm so grateful to still be alive to see it! Keep me in your prayers, I have a PET scan on Monday 27th. It's been 3 months since my last one. I will see my oncologist on Wednesday the 29th for my results and monthly bloodwork. I'm praying that my tumor marker numbers are going down! I feel great and my last bloodwork was normal last month. I don't anticipate anything bad. 👍😎🍁🍂🎃❤️🤗🏈 I hope you're doing well and your knee is feeling better! Take care my sweet friend! Hugs!
