So Far So Good!

Just a quick note today. Or at least it is going to start out that way... Everything is going pretty well  with the new treatment. Hardest part so far was the three days I had to spend in the chemo chair. BUT and there is always a but, as always, I was taught a good lesson on day one that softened the blow.

One of the other people I shared the room with was a woman (about 50?) who came with her daughter. She was dressed professionally and when she first came in I thought she must be looking for someone. (she had all her hair) - yes I know LOTS of people keep their hair, but on the 6th floor 'most' of us are baldies. Point is she marched right in and sat down and pulled open her shirt to expose her port. Some people get chemo through a port in their chest.

I soon found out she was on her 78th treatment. Approximately every two weeks for the past four years... Keeping the dragons at bay.

I can totally do this until the end of June.

Blanket thank yous today - especially to the meal angels who mysteriously drop food on my doorstep - I am getting a great dish and bowl collection... I will keep them until you reveal yourselves xo
