I decided to take a 4 day, 3 night retreat to Vashon Island. I wanted to take a break from work, holidays, life and have some time with myself and nature to take in everything that was 2016 and have time to morn the tough times and recharge energy to continue to fight in the days ahead. 

My hot flashes have returned! This is my THIRD chemically enduced menopause. I started getting a drug injection that has shut down my ovaries. We need my body to stop producing estrogen, since my cancer is ER+. Here's top hoping this helps stunt the cancer growth going forward.
