Gigi Cancer Quiz

Hello All. After a bit of a blogging break, I am back at the keyboard….
I thought I would only be able to eat smoothies for Christmas because of mouth sores, but I have been spared all the pain in my mouth and throat this treatment round. And thanks to the steroids, I ate my mother’s Christmas dinner with the appetite of a truck driver.



I am now turning over the keyboard to David. As some of you know, David loves games and puzzles. David has made up a special “Gigi Cancer Quiz” for this posting. Enjoy.
