Sorry It's been So Long, But........

[Aussie Annie]

....it's been one heck of crappy time for the family for over a year! My younger sister was diagnosed with terminal cancer in March last year, and it's been a battle. She has cancer in the left lung, and the liver. I have been doing all the driving for chemo and Dr visits. Nearly lost her three times.....then she decided to stop treatment in October of last year. Her Oncologist submitted her name for a new trial drug, and she was accepted. It won't cure the cancer, but it has given her more time with her daughters and grand daughters.

Also, my cousin, who is like a sister, has breast cancer for the second time. Then to top it off -- just after Christmas my sister-in-law was diagnosed with stage three ovarian cancer !! So as you can see my time, and head space is for family right now.

My VR family are important to me also...and I have kept up with those that are on Facebook, but I will endeavor to come in here more often.

We have just returned from a riding trip to see some of Alan's sister's. He hadn't seen one of them for 40 years!! Riding across this big island is a heck of a trip and I'm dealing with a lot of pain now I'm home, but glad I went to see family.

My love to you all, and may this year be a good one for you all

Nice to hear from you Annie. I think about you every time I look at or wear my Can Am hat. Sorry to hear your family is having such a rough go of it. Hopefully things will improve for all of you or at least not get any worse. Glad you got to go out for a good ride and hope it was worth the pain. I'll bet the smile on your face was more than the pain at least until you got off. Till next time Anne you and Alan take care.

Why it's my long lost Sister = AUSSIE ANNIE = YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWWWWWW!!! :clap2::dancefool: HI ANNIE:15_8_211[1]:

 

Been missing and wondering about you and Quickstep!! Soooo good to hear from you!!

While I am not a Facebooker I do stop by over there once in a while just to refresh my pea brain and make sure my VR friends like you and Quickstep (and LOTS of others) are still around. I cant keep up with keeping up with both sites so I had NO idea about your family!! My goodness Annie,, THANK YOU for checking back in here and letting us non-Facebooker VR folks know about all that Sis - your family has my thoughts and PRAYERS UP for sure!! Life can sure throw some curves cant it? Tip and I been tasting a little of it too.. Bunch of doctoring stuff, lost 2 aunts and a Nephew (brain cancer) in the last 7 days - just been NUTS around here too!!

You two rode across Australia? You ride thru the "Outback"? You ride your Trike and Quickstep on his F6B?

Annie I would LOVE to hear story's, maybe see some pics if ya got em and ALL that stuff if you ever have time to elaborate!! Would LOVE to hop with Kanga's, camp in the outback and sleep under the stars of Aussie Land some day... Hearing you tell a couple stories would be almost as good though Sister!!!
