Chemo - Round 3

Last week Donna went through her 3rd round of chemo. This time it took more of a toll on her. She struggled with nausea, tiredness, and was sore in lots of places. She went back to see the doctor late last week to make sure everything was ok. They said things were ok, and it was just the Chemo.

This week she will go in and do some tests to see if the Chemo is being effective. I'll post something as soon as we know the results...

Thanks for all your prayers and encouragement!

Trip to Florida

Donna and Mitch just returned from their trip to the Moffit Cancer Center in Florida.

They signed up for the program that I talked about earlier, and everything looks like it is in order. Providing that this round of chemo (another 3 or 4 months) continues to go well and her blood count stays good, she will be admitted into their test program.

Funny thing: Going to Florida she brought lots of spring time clothes (shorts, etc.) expecting it to be warm. Well, the very high humidity coupled with some lower than expected temperatures caused her to be quite uncomfortable. So much for going south for the winter...

Thanksgiving

First, sorry for being slow to update recently... Things have been busy at my house...

Donna and Mitch hosted the family for Thanksgiving. There was about 25 people there, mostly family. Donna was doing well and seemed to be in good spirits. She and everyone else had a good time. To me, this Thanksgiving had just a little bit of extra Thanks... ;-)
