Sorry that you have to endure this.
I was wondering if you made a “bucket list”. If you did, what
was on that that list? Were you able do cross off as done any
of the items on the list? I hope this question is not too intrusive.
If it is, please don’t feel that you have to answer it.
Wishing you the best of luck.
I missed this when it was fresh and new.
Hey, Maggie. 
Anything we can do?
ETA: How would you like people to remember you, or for that matter how do you like folks to think of you while you’re still here and stuff?
Maggie stated upthread (first page, I think) that she thought it was wasteful to spend money on a “bucket list”, when they needed it. Here’s her quote:

Sending good thoughts your way. Best of luck. Staying as well-fed and as exercised as your digestion and energy levels will support is worth a lot. It has survival value, but beyond that it has massive morale value. Maximize your quality of life. Which probably includes puppies.
Just a bump to let Maggie know that we have all been thinking of her. She has not posted for a bit but hopefully will be back soon, with or without a curly haired dog in tow.
Just another bump to say I think of Maggie frequently and hope she is doing well. I am sorry that you have had to deal with this turn of events.
Thank you for the good wishes!
The chemo is…just as fun as I remember it being, ie no fun at all. Yay. On top of that, we’re moving (to a place that will let us have the dog) so I’m dealing with packing on top of everything else. Fortunately we’re hiring a moving company, but we still gotta pack ourselves. sigh
Also, they did an MRI and found two new spots in my lungs, which are probably responsible for the uptick in tumor markers. Stupid spotty lungs.
Good to hear from you, but BOOO on the spotty lungs :(.
If you can manage the cash, seriously consider having the movers do at least some of the packing for you. I honestly think you’ll find it to be money well spent. We did it with our last move - no cancer or chemo, but 2 young kids, 2 stressed working parents, and zero energy to spare. It added a few hundred to the cost but it was well worth it. Yes, you’ll still want to pack the really critical stuff (china / crystal / computer) but the sheer amount of work in packing everything yourselves is so daunting and disheartening… The move itself is overwhelming enough - save yourself stress any way you can manage.
I’ll echo Mama Zappa’s recommendation. I did this when I moved my parents up here. I just made sure that they were well plied with tea and got fed at lunchtime.
My sister is 10 years since her treatment for breast cancer, about 7 since her 2nd go-round with thyroid cancer. She saw her oncologist this week for her annual check. Her blood cancer markers have gone from 0 to 3.7, which is above high normal. She’s going to redo the blood test in a month to see if possibly it’s an anomaly, then start scanning.
Thrilled y ou got the dog. What did you name him? Let’s see some pics!

Glad to see you posting!
It’s been quite a while, but Maggie, how are you doing?
I was reminded of this when reading an update about a coworker’s husband who is in a similar situation.
Maggie’s last post was December 30th, so she’s hopefully somewhere getting successful treatment.
She was on the boards this morning, albeit not posting. Hopefully she’ll see this thread and know that we are all wishing her the very best.
Hear hear.
Maggie! Check in please! We are thinking of you!
Ditto. Wishing you the very best, Maggie.
Add my best wishes to you, Maggie.
Best wishes, Maggie.
I am thinking of you as well. I didn’t realize it had been that long since you posted; feel like I see you around all the time. I hope you’re okay.
