Good morning all! I am getting my final treatment, the last cycle of four. I am doing well, with minimal side effects. I feel good and have no pain.
I was able to get cards written and finished a novel just in the first 2 days here. There isn't much else to keep one busy when you are tethered by IV tubing and a pump.
I do check my email and the blog daily. It's nice to know who is reading this stuff. (Although I don't know who's out there if you don't comment on the blog!)
I am looking forward to a peaceful Christmas with family and friends. Haven't done anything in the way of shopping for gifts. I'll be writing IOUs to everyone!
The follow up to this chemo will be surveillance with scans, which will start after the holidays. I guess at some point I will have to get myself back to work. By then the biggest hulabaloo should be over with the swine flu vaccine. I can only hope...
My best wishes to all for a very Merry Christmas and a blessed and healthy new year!
Till next time...:-) Bets

Hi Betsy,
I saw you & Tom sitting in your usual front row seats at Christmas Eve mass. I didn't make it over to say hello, but wanted you to know that our family prays for your every night over dinner prayers. It was wonderful to see you at mass. Glad you are coming through the homestretch!
In His Grace,
Terri Myers
