Name that bug

The latest on living with the bug..

..thinking about giving it a name..what do you think?

    I went to get my blood work checked yesterday for a check of my last x-ray and general meeting to talk over things. My x-ray was good and he said my blood work was GREAT.

Which means my body is handling the effects from the chemo well.

All the doctors though this have said, you will do well you are healthy and young!!! I haven't heard young so many times, since I am 54...(another upside to the bug)

My next chemo is Wed. and we will be adding calcium shots to help keep my bones strong. I am feeling very positive and pretty well now that my cough is much less often.

I am thinking..young, healthy,  I can fight this with all my strength, and yet go through my days as if The bug does not exist.

Please add to your prayers a new special friend I met in the chemo lounge, her name is Liz she has a tough fight and needs lots of prayers to stand strong against her bug.

xoxo love from Gail

My First Treatment, January 4th

I had my first Chemo treatment yesterday, lasted 4 hours.  As most of you know,  I don't sit for more than 10 minutes.  I brought tons catalogs to order from since I had to move my buying trip down the road until March, instead of next week.  Turns out the lady next to me and her friends love Topiaries and have a couple mutual friends.  It was her first time too...newbies.  So I handed out catalogs.  We talked about how the room we are in with 20 lazy boys filled patients all hooked up to IVs, the atmosphere could use some Topiaries touches etc..  

Not a bad experience for my first time.  Not sick or tired yet, they say that comes in three or four days.  My next treatment is in 3 weeks.  I am going to fill in some of the other tabs too..
