It may be a long day--lab, MD then 2 1/2 hr treatment. My appetite is good. I'm getting out most everyday--going to church or Target or grocery or lunch. Not driving--I'm not that crazy. Lucky enough to have friends to take me places. Let's see ...enjoying doing homework with kids, beautiful sunny fall days and beautiful rainy thundery days too. Back pain is very manageable. Trying to take a rest every afternoon. DH is working on long neglected projects around the house like cleaning out the storage room, but is happy to help if I need something.
Just wanted to say hi and update a bit. I'm doing pretty darn well, I think. The methotrexate seems to be helping my vision a lot and DH and I are sure enjoying time together and with the kiddos. Didn't get my taxotere last week as my white count was too low, so they added leukovorin and hope/ plan it will be ok tomorrow to get both chemos. Angela is taking me and I'm looking forward to spending time with her It may be a long day--lab, MD then 2 1/2 hr treatment. My appetite is good.

Thanks for the update, sounds like life is pretty normal there...which is a GOOD thing! Enjoy those days, our beautiful super deluxe sunny days have quickly turned gray and cold, way too quickly.
The glory of Fall and its beauty is my favorite time of year.
Hope you keep feeling so great, inside and out!

It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had. Elisabeth Kubler Ross
Thanks for the update, Becky. Sounds like things are going as well as might be expected under the circumstances. Like Gail said, you sound upbeat and happy. That counts for so much. Continue to enjoy every day. Hugs and love, Lauri

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
It's so nice to hear you sounding so happy. I'm so glad you're enjoying this, my favorite season, with your family. These are the days that we cherish.
Bless you,
Love,
