Thank You!

Me watching Man of Steel while I get my cancer Kryptonite!

I just wanted you all to know how much I appreciate your love, support and prayers.  I can't thank you enough.  I've just ended the second day of my first chemo session and I feel great!  As I told Julia, the worse is behind me now that I'm in treatment, every day that goes by now means less cancer, and that is a great day!  I'm not going to enjoy losing my hair, but my brother-in-law Jim told me how he looked at it when he went through chemo - every hair lost means another cancer cell gone, what a great way of looking at it. So the next
time you see me, I may be wearing an oh so stylish, better version of my hair, or maybe just a tie-dye hipster looking scarf!

This week is chemo week, next week my immune system will be at its lowest and I need to be especially careful, but the week after is my "off" week where I can be out and about. This will be repeated 5 to 7 more times. I'm aiming for 5!

Special thanks to my family that was able to make it out here for a visit before "the fun starts".  And those that didn't make it made it a point to call me or Jeff to see how we are doing.  Also, thanks for all the help my kids have given me around the house and getting gear for the long road ahead to help with the recovery from chemo treatments.  And all my friends that have brought by the food to fatten me up a bit before my appetite decreases.  And of course Jeff, with is uncanny way of making me laugh during the more trying times - you've really been such a great support.
