Ready for Round 2

1-30-09

The end of an energizing week!

I have enjoyed not having any chemo treatments this week and spending time with friends. Yesterday Larry Wilde, a fellow librarian, took me to lunch and then during the afternoon dear friends Barb and Janene, from Evergreen paid me a visit. Afterwards I was able to join them with Moses and Chris for “coalition” meeting at Crown Burger. Today I enjoyed a Café Rio lunch with the Skyline group..good friends and good food! These are reminders of how many wonderful and support friends I have surrounding me during this battle.

Monday I will begin round two. It will be much more aggressive I will be having chemo for longer sessions for 6 days in a row and then 3 weeks off. Radiation will also begin on Monday with a 5 minute daily session for 6 weeks. I hope that the side effects will be minimal and that I will still have the energy to work at least part time.

We are looking forward to having my parents with us for a couple of weeks. Hopefully they won’t freeze in this cold weather.

Thanks again for your prayers and support…we are surrounded by great friends and family!
