Also on my fall bucket list was to complete a fall/Halloween cross stitch, and I did this one. Just need to get it washed and framed! 🍂

Made more progress with my fall bucket list…close to being completed! Made pumpkin spice sugar scrub, watched A Nightmare on Elm Street, made lasagna soup in the crockpot, decorated two pumpkins, made chocolate chip pumpkin bread, and made a donation to my local food bank. 🎃

Have made some progress on my fall bucket list this week! The candle I‘m burning right now is the Pumpkin Clove scent from Bath and Body Works…it smells amazing. Got a fall mani/pedi and I love the darker colors for fall. Watched the Panthers game today and no surprise, they lost, but our new head coach is super hot and it does soften the blow a little.

So, I do a fall/Halloween bucket list every October, and this is this year‘s list. I made it into a bingo board for #HauntedShelf, so of course, I‘m going for a card blackout for lots of points!

An interesting read about the development of Herceptin, one of the newer cutting edge immunotherapy cancer drugs for women like me who have HER-2 positive breast cancer. I was struck how ego, aggressive competition can spur scientific breakthroughs. Nonetheless I declined chemo and Herceptin 2 plus years ago. Did surgery and radiation which went really well. I remain in remission but know I have a high likelihood of it returning. ⬇️
This book tells the fascinating story of the development of Herceptin, a targeted antibody treatment for breast and ovarian cancer that attacks a specific receptor called HER-2. Herceptin is one of the treatments I am receiving, so this was very personally relevant! It‘s an amazing treatment that fights cancer directly without real side effects, unlike chemo. The book tells the stories of the scientists and biotech companies along with many women
Crossed a few things off my #FallBucketList for #Scarathlon - Celebrated my son‘s 2nd birthday last week and drank hot chocolate while reading a ghost story! #TeamCreepinItReal #CIR
5⭐️ I was really surprised that I liked this book. While I wasn‘t really surprised at how well the story was written, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it and how much it drew me in. I also liked how the author made the cancer storyline very believable. I didn‘t know I had breast cancer until there was a shooting pain in my breast; breast cancer doesn‘t always make itself known with the usual signs. ⤵️
