Today was the 5K Making Strides Walk.  Next year I plan on getting my act together much earlier.  I did have my granddaughter and her friend to accompany me and I was surprised that on my own I had received several nice donations to turn in.  My granddaughter even surprised me with some homade t-shirts for the occaision.

It was a beautiful morning and, as last year, I was completely amazed at the wonderful turnout.  I felt the tears come to my eyes on several occaisions when I saw the throngs of people walking.  I remember that last year I didn't have any hair and just wore a cap.  I saw others today in that same predicament.  All had a smile on their face and hope in their heart.

An added note:  I saw the oncologist on Thursday for my 3 month checkup.  He was very understanding about my problems with the aromatase inhibitors.  He gave me some samples of Aromasin and wants me back in six weeks to see how I am doing with them.  He said there is a certain percentage that have bad side effects that can't be tolerated.  Since I really hope to find one that I can tolerate, I will start the Aromasin tomorrow.

To all my sisters out there, I said a prayer for all of you today as I walked.

Love and prayers, Esther
