Eleven down one to go. The end is nearly here for the chemo and I thank God for all his help to get me through this treatment. It has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do. You feel so tired you just want to stay in bed all the time. The treatment it self is not bad, it's just the after effects. I have lost several toenails, all my hair, gotten brown pigmentation on my neck, dry skin but I have survived all that. I have my last treatment next Tuesday and my friend Betty has been with me all the way, she has only missed two treatments, she is certainly a gift from God. I feel better today than I have for a while.
Went to see Dancing With The Stars Monday night with two of my friends. We had a really good time. We were in nosebleed section and I really had to push myself to get up all those stairs to row P, what a hike that was but I made it. We saw Joey Lawrence, Joey McIntire, Joey Fatone, and Drew Lachey and they were all really good.
They also did some singing and they were really good as a quartet singing 50"s songs.
The dancing was really good and they all did their free style from the shows. The pros were excellent as well, Louie, Alex, Kim and the one who won with Apolo but I can not remember her name. They also had other dancers there.
My Bobby came in early this morning from NYC. It is so good to have him home for 2 1/2 weeks. I'm sure we will have some fun while he is here. I just have to remember to pace myself and not over do.
More news later, love to all. Keep praying for me.

Ten down and two to go. Yesterday went very well. They started me late but that happens sometimes in a hospital setting. I finished my treatment about 1530 and got home around 1600. The treatment sometimes makes me very tired so I went to bed about 1930. Slept very well. The nurse I had yesterday was not as on the ball as most of the nurses I have had so far but she was very nice.
Took Tuesday off because we had a very low census at work and I just lazed around all day. All I did was wash a load of clothes and cook a ham, so as you can see I had a real hard day.
Next week Bobby is coming home for 2 1/2 weeks and I am really excited about doing some things with him. It will be fun. I have to remember to pace myself and not do too much.
Hope all of you are having a great week, lots of love to all.
Keep me in your prayers.

Well I had my 9th treatment and I was home by 3:15 P.M. The treatments are not hard, they just take time for the fluids to run into my port and then I get to drive home.
The highlight of the day is we get a fresh baked cookie at 2:00 P.M. each Wednesday when I have my treatment. The nicest volunteer (Jenny) makes the cookies and brings them around, she also hangs around and we talk about shopping and fun things. I felt really good yesterday, today is not as good.
Have you been watching Army Wives and The Starter Wife, these shows are pretty good.
Just wonder how true they are to real life. I cannot imagine one of my sons hitting me, I think I would put a stop to that somehow, maybe a 2x4 against the head to get their attention. Life is strange and things do happen but I am not a door mat for anyone. I have also started watching Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader and let me tell you I AM NOT. It is amazing what I have forgot that I learned in school all those years ago.
No plans this week end except to take my husband out for Father's Day.
Hope you all have a great week end.
Keep up the prayers for my recovery.
Love to all.

Eight down four to go. Can I do it? I sure hope so. The days get longer and the energy gets lower and lower. I am trying to keep up with life but it sure is hard. I have never been so tired in my entire life. I just keep praying for strenghth.
Picked up the kids from the airport on Thursday. They had a super trip and they all had great tans to show for their trip to Hawaii. They left Friday morning for home.
I broke my toe Thursday night. It hurts a lot. I am working but wish I was home with it propped up.
Had a very boring week end, did not do anything.
