Update

Well, it is day 4 after treatment and I am feeling crappy but at least I am dressed and upright. I haven't been able to talk on the phone or respond to emails, so I guess with future treatments everyone should know that I will not be able to talk, etc. for a good 4 days. You hear rumors about how awful chemo is, but you just don't really know until you are there. I keep hearing people say that the drugs they have for chemo now are fantastic. Well, maybe I haven't had those drugs yet. Or maybe this is the "fantastic" feeling. Who knows. All I know is that it is going to take everything out of me to get through the next 7 treatments. And for those of you that are wondering if I am eating, I say screw food for about 4 days. It's all I can do to live on popsicles, water and a little plain rice. Then day 4 hit and I had a Mighty Kids meal from Mcdonalds with a chocolate shake. It was quite good! Well, I need to go and try to be a parent. My wonderful parents have left again and I will miss them terribly. I wish they were closer and I could just see them everyday.

I just got your web page today, and have read back over your comments. I don't want to call, I know you need to be left alone, you need to conserve your energy for your family. I am so glad to talk to Rick briefly this morning and have an update.

I think of you often and send you the best thoughts possible. You fight like a girl, keep up the good work. Love and miss you, Marie

A kids meal @ Mickey D's - shocking! Love, from your weight watchers partner in crime,
