Round 3 of chemo began yesterday. That's right--on a Thursday--and the remaining June sessions will all be on Thursday mornings. I'm content with any day as long as it's in the morning, the time I feel best and have the most energy. Once again, Mom made me comfortable with blankets, neck pillow and cozy socks on my feet. I also enjoyed a visit from Victoria Nord, one of our SMTA piano teachers who, like Mary Simpson, has walked this road before me. They both have offered me so much inspiration and comfort. After two more sessions I will be ready for a CT scan on June 29. That will tell us where we go next--either more of the same or a new chemo combination. In any case, it sounds like there is more to come, and I am just fine with that. I do not want to let up in any way.
I received a good night's sleep last night, in spite of the steroids. The few meds I took helped me to wake up refreshed and ready to go! I try to get on the treamill almost everyday and am working back up to a mile. Knowing that exercise and good diet are proven cancer fighters are great motivators!
Last weekend was especially joyful for us as Elise and Matt (Harris) drove from Seattle to celebrate not only Dan's birthday but their recent engagement. They are looking at a Dec. 20 wedding, and we are so thrilled. Now I have something wonderful to focus on and help (where needed!).
Thank you for your constant support. I'll continue to keep you posted.

Wow, a mile on the treadmill! That's great! And what wonderful news of Elise's engagement. I'd love to hear more about them!
ReplyDeleteWell, you're a fighter Linda...that's good! Bob and I are lifting you up in prayer, and we thank Him for the energy He gives you now.

Linda, I'm impressed with your dedication to exercising and eating right although I couldn't have resisted an offer of Asian BBQ either. You must be so thrilled about Elise and Matt becoming engaged. Congratulations to them and what an exciting time for you all.
