Today was Chemotherapy # 7.
8:00 a.m until about 1:30 or so.
All went fine.. just one needle poke.
Before the steroids wore off, and in case my feet start hurting or getting numb, I wanted to get a load of laundry done.
So that is done!
Karen and Anna and Russell also brought over a thoughtfully prepared dinner. It is especially fun to see them, as it is also a little time to visit.
We also had a lovely "Meet & Greet" with a group from the congregation last night, graciously hosted by Josh and Liz. I had to leave early though when I remembered I was due for a dose of steroids at 8 p.m., 5 tabs 12 hours prior to chemo. The second dose was at 2:00 a.m., 5 more tabs 6 hours prior to chemo.
By now, my face is starting to feel the "chemo burn".
Tomorrow I return to the clinic for my Neulasta shot (for bone marrow protection). Then I expect to feel more aches and for my feet to be affected. However, I do expect to feel much better in about a week!
In the meantime, my Homecoming/Class Reunion events are thrown in the mix. I will be glad to see everyone!

Hello, Laura. I had not been able
to get into your journal since early July.
This morning I called John and left
a message, and he replied soon by
by e-mail. With the address he sent, after several tries, I was
able to get in.
Congratulations on your 31 anniversary. We are just double
that at 62.
This morning I read a thought that
was meaningful to me. It was in
Heron Dance, a beautiful inspirational booklet published
by a small group in New England>
"For is is not merely the trivial
that clutters our lives but the
important as well. We have a
surfeit of treasures-an excess
of shells, where one or two would
be significant." Anne Morrow
Lindberg, from a 'Gift of the
Sea'. So good to connect with
your journal again! Bob McFarling.
Hi Laura! Thanks for keeping us up-to-date on your medical care as well as your spiritual insights along the way. Your blog link can be found on the FUMC Northville website.
Hugs,
