Am in the middle of number 8 now. I am 48hours out of dosing. My platelet count is low, so they adjust that portion of the chemo...(skipped it) and raised the other parts. So side affectsd i havent' had for a month are returning and now I get the pleasure of one last dose in Jan. No pump...just the nasty chemical I don't like. If I don't like it then my cancer won't like it either!!
I geuss I am a little bummed that it is taking so long and then the tests start again. I am resigning myself to a life with cancer for a long time. The key word is life.
Most of the staff at the oncology clinic dressed up for Halloween. I think they all should have been vampires. They have sucked lots of blood out of me. They are a fun competant crew.
So kind and caring. Plus the snacks they have around are not bad.
Thanks to Martha who took me on an adventure to Jamba Juice!!!!! You know I don't get out much when juice is exciting. I am also overwhelmed by cards and e-mails and meals we get.
I figure everyone will just forget about it and you don't/ haven't/won't!!!!!!!
Thanksgiving will breeze by and then Christmas. Jim's brother will be here! Also helpful
and full of laughs.
So off I go for #9 in about a week and 1/2. Wasn't ' that a dirty movie?????

Alright...I was waiting for an entrance to this blog, and I found it..you mentioned "Jamba Juice"!? My curiosity got the best of me, so I googled.. and no wonder I had never heard of this place, they don't have any thing like this is the south! If they did mind you it would have to be flavors like: "deep fried snicker bar" and " hot & spicy pig feet".
I'm glad to hear you are hanging in there and getting your nutrition!! You know I am queen of the snacks...so what ever the hospital has for you..I bettcha I can top em', so you just say the word and I will send boxes & boxes of "Cancer-Free Country Snack Mix" and "T-Cell Trail Mix" to go along with your Jamba Juice!
Hope you feel well enough to go do something fun for Laura's birthday next week..Thinking of you...Were you a Warrior for Halloween?? Cause you sure seem like one to me..keep it up..Love ya!
