Flu Season is here

It still amazes me that we are finding humor in the side-effects of chemotherapy. Out of the blue, Rhonda announces to me that she doesn't have hair on her fingers any more. This revelation leads to the eye brows, which no longer need to be tweezed (I would love that by the way). After 4 rounds, we have fallen into a routine, knowing what to expect from day to day in each cycle and noticing little changes.

As far as I go, my "fear level" has escalated because of the flu season. I fear that her co-workers and the general population who are sick will not have enough common sense to stay away. Okay so I shouldn't say this but all of you know that on occasion Rhonda is a little stubborn and takes risks (like flying to Mississippi on a commercial airline) that I am not happy about. So we will pass on public activities for now and make up for it in a couple of months.

I don't think we can tell our friends and family enough how much we love you.

It seems like it has been a long time since my last treatment. I have my 4th treatment this Wednesday and then only 2 more to go.



We went last weekend and I had my head shaved. Most of it had fallen out but what was left was 1/4" and made me feel self conscious. Sharon said it looked like an ostrich head. I feel better with it shaved. I won't feel bad or embarrased if my scarf comes off now.



We are excited about the Komen walk and all the friends who are walking with us. We think we'll have about 30 walkers on our team. We are almost halfway to our fundraising goal. We appreciate any donation you can give. Click the link below and it will take you to our team.

I am certainly ready for this to be over. Until next time...
