Its been a good day!

Well, my platelets were high enough today to proceed with chemo this week. Thats good news - as much as I hate getting it, I love getting it out of the way. So today I'm almost done with Cytoxan, Red Devil & Vincristine and almost done with the 2nd unit of blood.

Julie B has been here with me every step of the way which has been wonderful. So nice to have company to keep me from sprinting on out of here.

Happy to report I am done with Vincristine FOREVER. After tomorrow that will be the case for the Cytoxan and Red Devil too. Tomorrow my neighbor, Angie, is coming and so is Pam - two knitting experts - so I am planning to get double instruction!

Looks like the next and final round of Turbo Chemo (the 5 day treatment) will be Labor Day week. Will keep you posted about needs for volunteers that week!

I love reading our comments!

I'm a working mom & wife in Franklin, Tennessee. Kendall & I have been married for almost 21 years and have 2 beautiful (well we think they are beautiful) and smart (I've always hated how girls are called beautiful above smart) daughters, who are just about 11 and 17. We live in the country in Franklin with our menagerie of pets (3 cats and our 2 Weimeraners - Syd and Jessie).

I have a really fun and interesting job in marketing. I work for a mutual insurance company that works with physicians. Each day is fun and different, and the people with whom I work are second to none. I truly enjoy each day at work.

Why did I write a blog? I spent most of 2012 undergoing treatment for an extra-skeletal Ewing's sarcoma - surgery, radiation, chemo, etc. I started writing this blog when I received my diagnosis, both as a way of documenting my journey and as a way of keeping family and friends informed of my progress.

Once treatments ended, I continued to write very occasionally as I learned through trial and error how to return to a normal life and discovered what it means to be a cancer survivor. Now, almost five years after my experience, I have resumed writing as means of creative expression and a fun hobby.
