Update

Nothing like trying to slip in-and-out of church only to be caught by people telling me I haven't updated the Blog. I do so apologize to those local followers!

Next week is the last of my 6-week hiatus from any type of treatment and I am celebrating it by going with my "longest best friend" to visit my aunt and uncle at Emerald Isle, NC for 4 days. We will come back through Greenville to see David and Trisha's new house on Friday.

Saturday begins the reality of dealing with the cancer. I have a PET/CT scan schedule that afternoon, then will meet with Dr. McCoy on Wednesday to determine when I will be admitted to the hospital so chemo can begin. I am hoping I can go in on Thursday and get this started. I will go in every 3 weeks for 3-4 days, which I dread. But, I want chemo behind me and am willing to go through whatever infection/pain occurs with my wounds. It's like a black cloud always hanging over me and I just want to get it done.

Otherwise, I am doing very well -- eating and eating, although I don't feel like I've put on weight. I'm told my color is great and my wounds are looking good, too.

I'll update again after my appointment with Dr. McCoy. As always, I appreciate the thoughts and prayers coming my way!
