begin round 2



Caroline came with me today and she learned how to knit. Here is a picture of her knitting. My kids are remarkable people. She took a day off work to come with me and Larry wants to come with me next time. I wonder if he wants to learn to knit. hehehehe.

Today I started my 2nd round of chemo. When we complete round 3, 6 treatments, I think they will do another pet scan and how cool would it be if they say...Ok go home and don't come back...Well, maybe not, but I really think they think it should take no more than 6 rounds. We will take it one day...one treatment... at a time.

I am feeling good and will have a shot of neulasta tomorrow. Then by Wed I will be myself again.


Have a great day and talk with you soon. Love to all.

Joy,
You're right, they are. Glad to hear the treatments aren't totally beating you down. You get no special dispensation from "The One" for having to go through it, but I'm convinced, because you're you, it won't be near as bad as it could be - you've still got too much lovin' and lessons to spread around and the Creator's no fool, it's understood you have to be kept in good shape to continue that!! You're a Soldier Joy, really you are! (That Caroline is looking so cute!)

Love, thoughts and prayers...

Everyone is asking how you are doing and they are praying or you. Joyce, you are to quote Aunt Lizzie "THE BEST"! This will be behind us soon, we certainly do need you to keep us all in check. Love and miss you so very much. Looking forward ro you coming home to spend some time.
