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.

Rhonda, stubborn? Surely not! She has been that way since 3rd grade and if we ask her Mom, probably before that. Sharon, I just want to say how great I think that you are. You have taken such good care of my "oldest" friend and for that I am forever grateful. Give my love to the stubborn patient and I am sending some your way too. Toni
