Fri. Jan. 25

WARNING....WARNING..... I thought it only fair to let you know that I am "on the road again"!!! I managed to take a short drive to the store today to pick up a few things and made it home safely. I've been feeling really well these past few days -which makes up for the 10 days before that when I didn't feel very well and had a lot of stomach pains and sore muscles (from drugs, not from working out!!). Although I do have exercises to do every day, which I'm trying to keep up with as they seem to be helping build some strengh back in my legs. Other than that - nothing much new. Looking forward to some warmer weather so I can get outside for walks.

Mon., Jan.14

Hi Everyone:
Not too much new happening. I managed to get through one whole 3 week chemo cycle without ending up in the hospital so that is good news. Started the 2nd (of 10 cycles) last Wed. and other than some stomach problems caused by one (or more, who knows) of the drugs, I'm doing OK. Still tired and the legs aren't back to normal yet but I'm able to eat OK and do a few things around the house. I haven't started driving again yet but think I'm almost ready - Mike isn't so sure!!!
Hope you are all well.
Janet

Thurs. Jan 3.

Mike and I were down to Princess Maragart Hopsital yesterday for blood work and chemo treatment (for me - although I think others should take turn!!!). There must have been a backlog of people due to the holidays as we had to wait 4 hours between blood work and the chemo - which is just a weekly injection this week. At least it gives us a chance to catch up on our reading.
There also appears to be a shortage of blood so if any of you notice blood doner clinic signs, please consider giving.
I'm feeling well - white blood cell count is down to 0.1 so I have no immunity right now, so am being cautious about where I go.
