DFN finished her 1st cycle of chemo. Side effects were quite mild and she handled it well. 5 more 3 daay cycles to go. She's feeling much better these days and continues to improve.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

dirty finger nails all summer thats a true gardener. I find myself heading to a graduation party cleaning my finger nails the best you can do as you are heading down the road. On Sat. afternoons lately people know I have been doing volenteer working weeding I may have mud spots on the knees of the jeans or still very wet mud depending on how much its been raining as I stop in the store for something quick on the way home. Hmmmm some have said as I walk by and I hear them but I just go about getting what I need and head for home for a hot shower and something to eat. That is what some fellow gardeners look like. If you see me on Sat afternoon in a store you'll know its me and I am a fellow gardener. LOL Gardenmaker79

I've been away from here lately and I just had to let you both know there's a gal in Canada's capital city mustering up a whopper of positive energy covered with my prayer. LOL, and yes, it's darn cold outside...you know the drill! Peggy

It's DF here. Radiation was a breeze until the last couple of treatments, then the side effects hit me like a freight train. They are easing off a bit so that helps a lot. Dok is the sweetest most supportive hubby any girl could ask for, although we had a discussion about over-coddling! Tomorrow's the pre-op and they'll hopefully give us a date for the surgery. Initially they wanted to do it on the 23rd, but I said no - a few days after Christmas will work just fine. Our last pre-op was supposed to be the 5th, so we showed up with our appointment card in hand, but oooops, the doctor forgot to let the front desk know so she wasn't available that day - GRrrrrr! (I'm not always such a patient patient, but didn't say too much, I hope!)

Great news! Praying that the other sessions will be tolerated as well! woo hoo!

As she progresses with the treatments, the side effects will possibly get a little tougher each time. Make sure you have the anti nausea pills on hand and anything else thta may help her. It doesn't always happen, and I don't know what "cocktail" she is taking, but just wanted you to be aware... I'm sure the Doc went over all of that with you anyway...
