Yes - It's very sad what's happened to lovely Vanuatu. Fortunately, places in the warmer climates are quicker to respond with new growth, but I think it will be a long time before things get back to "normal" there if ever. Most local people are already poor, rely on their gardens for food, etc and this will be a giant set-back.
Glad you were able to be pampered on your cruise, Chirley. You obviously have many happy memories to reflect on. How fortunate you didn't suffer from sea sickness.
I do hope your break from drugs and other treatment does you good. It's very brave of you, but then I think sometimes the relentless routine can be a stressor in itself.
I don't have anything to deal with compared with your usual regime, but was just thinking today that it would be nice to take a month off having an infusion. I tried going 3 months once and my globulins dropped right back and I started to feel unwell but I reckon I might be able to go 2 months OK.
