Another Week; Many More to Go!

I had an appointment with my Oncologist today. I asked about
my cancer treatments, thinking they would end in September
or October. She said "4 to 6 months down the road we will
see if radiation is necessary." (meaning as she exclaimed
to me that my chemotherapy would continue that long)

It wasn't what I expected but it's good to know what my
schedule will be doing.

A friend asked me about chelation. I would like to do
such a thing but I don't have the money. But, as I do
chemo I'm keeping up on my vitamins and alternative
medicine that my oncologist approved. It's called
You can read here at the link all the great things
it does such as boost your immune system, eliminate
free radicals, restore cells and give you energy.

My son Andrew spent the last few days with me.
We went to play mini-golf and watched "The Prince
and the Pauper" - a great adventure movie.
I also took him to see some friends of his on the
way back to his dads.

I saw all of the children on Monday. I'm happy
to give them all a hug now. We made lemonade
and hot dogs for dinner with apples and just
sat around and chatted. It was a very hot
and humid day.

Today my daughter went off to camp for two
weeks. Personally I think a week is long enough
for her age; but she was very excited and said
she would send letters. Her enthusiasm was
like a happy sunbeam.

I took my Art Appreciation curriculum to the
social worker at the Cancer Center and one of
the nurses approached me later saying she loved
my work and they would set up a time in September
for me to do the workshop! Next week I will
bring the art books in to show them.

Well, time to rest; tired after a day of chemicals.
