Good day everyone...sorry I haven't written in so long. I am starting to learn how to handle the down days.
Last week my cousin Linda came out to visit me and stayed for 5 days. We had a great time. I was down and out for 1 day, so we had some quality time. We went yarn shop hopping, another day we made 4 strombolis that were soooooo delicious. Then we spent a day knitting and then went out for dinner and the knit shop for our Friday night divas group. Anyone that knows Linda can imagine how fun it was to hear her stories and just sit around and visit.And she shaved my head.......... Oh I cannot forget her "babies". Check out the picture. I just have the greatest and most supportive family around me. I am sooo blessed.
Tuesday I had a breathing test to test my lungs. One medication that I take, effects my lungs and they have to keep close tabs on that. Well, there was minimal change from my base line test, so Dr Anderson decided to delete the med from my treatment. He said I am far enough in my treatment that it would not make an impact on my end result. He feels we can still see a cure without it. We decided to get another pet scan after my 4th round. So we are looking at after November 14.
My next treatment is Friday. Joe is taking me this time. Larry took me last time and he learned how to long tail cast on. (knit) So Joe, be prepared. Come to treatment, learn to knit. Hey maybe I have found my niche in life. Teach knitting during chemo. Uhhhhh, NO.
Everyone have a wonderful week and I will try to get a new video out soon. Love you all....God Bless you.

Aunt Joyce, I was so happy to hear the good report from my mom after she returned from visiting. She had such a wonderful time with you and the family...who wouldn't?!? We love and miss you guys terribly. Please know we're all praying for a quick, complete recovery. You're amazing!
And sorry you had to deal with those two dogs, although my mom said you loved them! They are quite the characters, huh?
Many hugs and kisses, Francesca
O.K., fun times with dogs and cousins/friends well explain any loss of communication. You sound so good Joyce, I am very happy about that.
Love,
Erin
Okay, cute babies, but the resemblance between the two of you is amazing! When I first saw the picture, I said, "Did Joyce decide on a blonde wig with highlights?"
Glad you've learned how to handle the down days and that you ladies had a wonderful time. Sounds like the treatment is going well since the doctor's deleted one of your meds. I'm so happy to hear that!
Hey! Teaching knitting doesn't sound so bad (not during chemo though)! Hell, I'd like to learn to make some sweaters, an afghan or a skirt! Who knows? Joe may produce a lovely garment for you to wear on those cold, Minnesota nights! :-)
Glad you're feeling better Joy. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Hi Joyce,
Glad you hear you had a nice visit - how did Jeter like the 2 new friends? I think it would be great for Joe to learn to knit, it's very relaxing. Hang in there -- soon the treatments will be done and life will go back to normal!
Take care, Joyce. Love, Jan
Hi Joyce,
Now if you can teach Joe to knit I will be amazed! On another note, I have a joke for you that I thought might brighten your day.
ITALIAN BOY'S CONFESSION
Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been
with a loose girl'.
The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey Pagano?'es, Father, it is.'
'And who was the girl you were with?'
“I can't tell you, Father, I don't want to ruin her
reputation'.'Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner
or later, so you may as well tell me now.
Was it Tina Minetti?'
'I cannot say.'
'Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?'
'I'll never tell.'
'Was it Nina Capelli?'
Im sorry, but I cannot name her.'
'Was it Cathy Piriano?'
'My lips are sealed.'
'Was it Rosa Di Angelo, then?'
'Please, Father, I cannot tell you.'
The priest sighs in frustration. 'You're very tight
lipped, Joey Pagano, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have
to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself.'
Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Francoslides over
and whispers, 'What'd you get?'
'4 months vacation and five good leads.'
Love You! Linda
