Weekly blogs

Hi all-
I'm sorry that I can't keep up with weekly blogs. As you know, I receive chemotherapy each Wednesday. I'm usually asleep, or feverish, or plain ole recovering the next two days. However, I've tasked myself with getting up, dressed, and out as soon as I possibly can. If I laid around recovering from chemo, I'd never live, never get to enjoy the day, or what it has to hold. Steve has me "rest" a lot, which I reluctantly give into. This seems to give me more time in the day to be up & enjoy.

However, keeping up with the weekly blogs, is nearly impossible for me. Surfing the web, is one of the last things I think of doing, which means my website, and friends suffer. I'm sorry for this. With all the support everyone has blessed us with, keeping you in the loop, is very importat to me......just in a less than timely manner! Truely, I hope this is okay? If not, you can send a personal email, or text to give me a hard time!

Last Wednesday, 1/28/09, I started two new chemotherapy drugs. Taxol & Zoloda. The Zoloda is a by mouth pill that I take twice a day in the comfort of my own kitchen. This is easy to keep up with, because of all the other drugs I already take. Taxol, is a once a week infusion at the hospital. I wasn't happy when the doctor wanted to put me on this drug, because the side effects aren't 'pleasant'; I've only been on 'pleasant' chemotherapy drugs since October. However, since doc is very worried about my liver disease, he wanted Taxol. I'm okay, and have been since only starting five days ago. In another week, or two, once the Taxol is in my system, I might have to change my tune. Until then, I'm okay.

I want to say "THANK YOU" for still keeping up with my saga for these long 18months. Every message, or comment you leave for me, is still just as important as the very first one I received. Your friendship, prayers, support, guidance means the world to me, and lifts my spirits everyday. I am blessed to have so many of you on my side, rooting for me, praying for both, Steve and I.

Thank you again....
