I went to my oncologist last Friday and after talking it over, we decided that I would start my chemo treatment this coming Friday (March 6). So, I go to the hospital Friday morning and have the surgeon put in a port (under the skin on my upper chest) in order to receive the chemo infusions. Then after being released from the hospital, I'll go across the street to the cancer treatment center and have my first infusion. I feel good to get it started! Jim will spend the day with me and I'm sure all will go well. During this first round (3 months) I will go in every 3 weeks for an infusion. Of course this schedule is always subject to change depending on my blood counts. Unfortunately, white and red blood cells temporarily decrease in this treatment. And I will probably loose all my hair -- for a while. But, I'm anxious to get started and work through the plan to complete recovery!
The second round will be this summer and those chemo infusions will take place once a week. I'm very grateful that all this is happening during long sunny days and not the dark of winter. There's a bright spot in every challenge!! :-)
Please say a little prayer for me this weekend! I look forward to hearing from you now and then.
Happy Spring to you!
Love,
Debbie

Deb-I missed you at church today. Shannon said you have renamed the Chemo to "Going to the Spa" I think that is wonderful attitude. You are in my prayers. Love, Krista
