Feelin' Good!

Just wanted to let everyone know that my mom is doing VERY well with round #2 of chemo.

The first time she wasn't taking pain pills...this time she is. She also has a very expensive (and EFFECTIVE) anti-nausea medication, and it's making a big difference. Her headache and muscle aches are "bearable" because of the medication.

And her hair is starting to come out...good thing the wigs and turbans are on hand. We want some pictures!

Hopefully she'll be writing on her blog soon...she has high speed internet now. Woohoo!

If anyone can get through cancer, it's you and your wonderful family!I just love you and your family and I am so thankful I got back in touch with Krystal and Heather through blogging!

Sending along our well wishes, prayers and support to our wonderful neighbors and friends! We heard through Meagan who heard through Jane about your battle and we are both surprised and grieved...but oh, so hopeful!! You have a long row to hoe, but you are no stranger to determination and hard work. We know you can beat this cancer to a pulp!!! I would love to visit with you anytime. When it's good for you Karen. You've been there for me so many times. I'd be blessed to be there for you.
