Hi guys!

I was on a TV news program AND in the paper in Calgary in the same week!
I feel really good about having got those done. I was nervous of
coughing with the live TV appearance! I didn't!

If anyone's curious, here's the article:
http://www.canada.com/calgary/calgaryherald/news/story.html?id=b0bf0522-00b8-4d2
c-811a-686e871db514


By the way, I finished a Notable in that award.

So that's all good, I won't even talk about my health today...

Fondly,
Grace.

That is so cool Grace. I like those socks...
I ought to see if they have your book here locally.

Hee. The photographer was quite taken with the socks. I told Michelle the socks were going to be the
focus of the photo!

Thanks!

Way to Go Grace

I think with all you have been through, you still maintain, it is better to
give than to receive...At least that is how I feel about you.

Nice article and good picture too.

hugs
janers
Grace Casselman - 02 Jul 2004 00:23 GMT
> Thanks Janers and everybody.

Honestly, it's believing that there's a God who cares that helps me keep going.
Also, my dear little son who needs me. And some family and friends who have
been so kind and loving that it's so humbling I could cry.

Grace.

Well, as usual I'm running behind, catching up on posts. This is fantastic!!
I'm so excited for you, Grace!! You look great. I'm assuming that is the wig
your family bought you? It looks wonderful.

So glad you got through the TV interview without a hitch or a coughing
spell.

Is your sister visiting for the summer while she has a break from school?

No, the article wasn't clear on that. It's the Big Sister/Big Brother program.

Thanks Bev,

Grace.

Congrats!!! The article was wonderful -- I didn't realize all you have been
through. You truly are an inspiration. I think I will go buy your book too -
I mentor a teenage girl myself and I think she could use it. Is it available
on Amazon?

If you request a bookstore or Walmart order it, might be more sales for Grace...
they might order 10 or a dozen instead of one.

Hi Bev:

The holiday was quite nice; I could have stayed away longer!

I feel quite good; almost no coughing and I think lung function may have improved.

I am concerned, approaching my Aug. 7 MRI, about numbness and tingling in my left foot. However, I also
have some tingling in my right fingers and lips.

I want friends and family to pray for the MRI to show no tumors left. I very much want to get on with
life. I can accept the tingling as a late chemo side-effect, which is a possibility.

I am unhappy with my left-sided mobility, but I don't think it's worse...I took my son to a park
yesterday, about 3 blocks away. I felt physically tired at the end, but my lungs were okay. (Remember,
I was on oxygen a month ago....)

I feel a bit stronger... I have places to go, things to do...but we're trusting and thanking God, one
day at a time...

Grace.
Sherry - 22 Jul 2004 19:51 GMT
Grace,
Prayers and good vibes for a neg MRI on the 7th heading your way from central California.

Hugs,
Sherry

Sounds like you are much stronger being you even attempted to walk the three
blocks to the park!

I'll cross my fingers and wish for the very best on the 7th!
