• Post Chemo Blood Draw (6/2/2005)

  Hi All, The Lord is good and ever faithful! My numbers this time were much better and no house arrest this time. The Neulasta that I received really did it's job.

• Hair today, Gone tomorrow (5/16/2005)

  Hi All, Well, the last week brought or should I say lost, my hair ( that is).

• 1/3 of the way done (5/20/2005)

  Hi All, Well, two down and four to go. The Lord was gracious when I prayed that my numbers would be up. The oncologist was even impressed with them.

• Next Step (4/30/2005)

  Hi All, Well, we're finally moving along and I've had my port put in and had my first chemo treatment. The surgery for the port went well and the chemo was non-eventful.

• Next Chapter (4/21/2005)

  Hi All, Things have been quiet lately and nothing new until today. I had my echo cardiogram and my pre-op interview done today.

• Oncology Visit... (4/14/2005)

  Hi All, Sorry I didn't get back to everyone last night, but we got home late and I decided to wait until today. The medical oncologist is wonderful.
