9 more to go...we are talking single digits!!


Friday was treatment number 7. It seems that no chemo day would be complete without some fresh snow on the ground. The treatments are getting to be pretty straightforward. This one was a half hour shorter because I have had no adverse reaction to the Taxol so when we started that drip it was full steam ahead- no slow drip to start off with.

Wes went with me this week. He had a really busy week at work and we didn't really get to see much of each other. Thursday was his birthday but he worked all day so it was nice to spend Friday afternoon together even if it was a chemo. As always we took books to read, but ended up just talking and laughing and eaves dropping the whole time.

Unfortunately, it has been weeks since we have seen Viking Mike. Maybe next time. There was, however, a lady with more than a passing resemblance to Jaba the Hut. I'm not saying that she is an intergalactic criminal overlord bent on revenge and willing to do anything for money... but she might be.

Overall pretty easy peasy this week. Back to being tired, but nothing that we can't handle. 9 more to go!

I agree, cute hat!!! Glad to hear that chemo keeps getting shorter and shorter each week. Now if you could just work on the snow thing, that would be great.
