The Kitchen Table

So far, So good

9 years ago

Well I started my Chemo yesterday and so far everything is great. It was a very long day, 12 hours, but no nausea or fatigue yet this morning. :) The regimen I'm receiving (R-ICE) is 3 days of chemo in a row on a 3 week cycle. So I'm back at the infusion center getting my 2nd dose as I type this.

Even better, I got to visit with a women yesterday that received a Auto Stem Cell Transplant last summer and she indicated that it was really not too bad. So, I'm much less apprehensive about what is coming.

As always, I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I'm absolutely positive you are all responsible for my easy chemotherapy and that I'll go into remission so that I may have the SCT. PLEASE CONTINUE.

Thanks grandms & mikie. Actually, when I turned on the computer today there was a notice from MS to DL IE7. Must be huge, it took 5 min. with cable connection. I like the ability to make print bigger and smaller. That always worked well on GW and email but didn't work on most sites. But now EVERYTHING is too big. This post, that looked normal last night now has me scrolling back and forth to read! Hoping someone can lead me to a setting to change? Or maybe I should start a new thread? Sandy

So glad your having good luck with the Green Works Larsi. I didn't get mine yet but had to inform hubs about it because carrying it out of the store in my purse while he waits won't work, the jugs too big and will look weighted in my purse, pulling my arm down lol..it went like this...hon there's a new product on the market, Clorox Green Works and its specially formulated to keep cheap black work jeans from ever fading which means these jeans you insist on buying at walmart will stay black forever..he said..finially a detergent I approve of, next trip to the store can you remember to buy it.....LMAO of course I'll remember. ..haha.

You're not! as it rips up tiny fine root hairs one is trying to grow. I get it's a happy & exciting thing, congratulations, but perhaps this person could practice taking the pix to show roots w/out picking the plant up or even touching it. It sets the plant's progress every time it's picked up, essentially telling the plant it has to re-root & start over.

Glad the chemo has gone well and wonderful that you got to meet with the woman who has already had a transplant. Really helps to talk to others who can tell you what to expect. Best wishes!

I'm just finishing up my 3rd day of the chemo regimen. As we are treating this out of town, I'll be glad to get home. I'm a bit fatigued today, but other than that still doing fine. Again, thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. It means so much to me.
