Thankful

I hope that you all had a lovely Thanksgiving. Please know how thankful I am for you.

Cathy and I met in Fort Collins Tuesday night and she surprised me with an early Thanksgiving celebration before I went off to chemo on Wednesday. So nice! Thank you!

Had a total emotional meltdown at chemo...some days. Amazing support from Dr. K and the nurses-wow! They have an oncology social worker there, so I will meet with her-a place to dump and deal.

Brain scan was clear-whew!

hugs,

yuk!

Still do not feel well...and I do it all again in less than two weeks!
sigh.

Off to Fort Collins for brain MRI this afternoon. Won't know results til my next chemo on the 23rd.

My friend Susan wrote a blog post that I would like to share.

here we go!

They added the Avastin to the mix yesterday.

Got to my appointment feeling anxious, weary of it all, and a bit teary...chatted with one of the amazing chemo nurses and felt better and ready to go.

So, all I can say...Alimta and Avastin...go get 'em!

and all I can say to you all...could not do it without you. Thank you!

hugs,
chris
