It's Spring and I'm still running!
I finished my third Chemo session on the ninth. Lynne and family were visiting here in Moline and Lynne came along to view the process. It was nice having her there. All went well, but of course with the usual repercussions for the next ten days.
We have had lots of visitors this month, children and grandchildren came in from all over the country. It was great to see everyone, a great get-together.
My fourth Chemo is the 30th of April. Sometimes they do another PET scan, if the insurance company agrees, to see how the therapy is working. If all is going well that means my treatments MAY be shorter, that is 6 instead of the 8 that are scheduled. We are hopeful.
I still have a very small amount of hair and it seems to have stopped falling out so I'm not totally bald yet at least. I am wearing the wig that I got from Jim and Anne for my birthday, on special occasions and my cute little hairy caps most other times. I am looking forward to wearing the straw hats that I received from Jen and Joe, when the sun gets really hot this summer.
Much thanks to all of you who took the time to send flowers and cards for my birthday, they were very much appreciated.
I am feeling well, although not as strong, most of the time except for the 10 days following the chemo. I kind of crawl into a hole for that period of time but things get gradually better after that.
Love to all
