Chemo, part III
Even though we got a late start because there were fewer staff this morning, the IV bags flowed like the Nile and we were able to get out of the Chemo Clinic at a decent hour. Maybe time flew because my body has become faster at absorbing stuff because of the feeding tubes. Dr. B is still pleased that I haven't had any nausea. I'll probably get my next CT Scan after the next Chemo Cycle and we'll see if there's been any shrinkage of the tumor.
New activities: practice drinking water in the normal way, artificially clearing my throat in the most efficient and pain-free way, and being happily back on the Chinese herbs in a big way. I also got a new pair of glasses, so I won't have to worry so much about my eyes. I was also able to meditate for a good 15 minutes. My sister came over in the afternoon to keep me company, and my cousin in the Bay Area sent me a beautiful bouquet that reminds me of Van Gogh in the South of France.
Today was a good day.

Hi, Laura, touching base, and glad to have your news.
We are enjoying cool temps here after torrential rains yesterday and high-heat-humidity last week. Can't make up its mind, like many things in life.
Please accept an e-hug and let my good wishes slither through the wires or space or whatever connects us, me to you. Take care,
Carolyn
Hi Laura, I am glad you like the flowers. They do remind me of Provence and Van Gogh...that's why I picked them! You can never go wrong with those colors!
I have been thinking of you lately and wish you well.
Hugs and kisses to you and James,
Shauneen and the rest rest of my crazy crew :-)

Laura,
Sorry we will miss you this weekend at Cole's. You are always close at heart...I recently took a look at your bachelorette party pics, and had a few laughs. Highly reccommended! We had such a ball. Have fun with Ali, and everyone else involved in the debauchery. Take care-Paloma
Oh, also, before I forget...Happy Birthday!
