Before you do anything else, if you didn't see this clip on GMA last week, watch it now. It was the very best advice for friends of people who are going through a health crisis... The advice given here is partially why I started the blog...

OK, so we've got 3 chemo treatements down, two to go. And I'm so tired of getting them. Isn't that awful? I preferred the days that I had to go in for the whole stinkin' day but then was done for a while. Going every day is just tiring. And I really dislike chomping ice for 30 minutes, too. I know that it's keeping the mouth sores away, but I used to be an ice chomper. Never again. My tongue just gets so sore and swollen. Ick.
But the nausea hasn't been bad at all, in fact, I've been eating just fine between the tube and actually eating. And yes, I'm actually eating some.
It has been very nice to have Aunt Nancy here. She's been helpful with getting everyone hither and yon. The girls started school on Monday, and the boysies didn't start until today. And today is only a half day. To TracyE is coming down to hang with the boys this afternoon while I'm at chemo.
I'm getting my hair back!! It's brown and curly. It's not photo worthy yet, but it is coming in. It's very fine. I'm just praying that I get enough back before he puts me on a different chemo that takes it away again!
Disney is totally paid for!!! You guys, it's a miracle. There is even souvinir money that was donated for the kids. Not a lot, but some.
Paul's job is going OK. He's got 2 8th graders that he's about ready to strangle, but otherwise, it's all going well. They had a tornado out that way last night, so I wonder if any of his kids were affected.
Alright, I guess that's all for now. I have some work work that needs to get done. Don't guess that's going to happen unless I actually do it.

Hi! Thanks for including the link. My friend here is struggling with a recurrence of her cancer. I'm training in her job for the times she can't be here. It's kind of a tough situation.
Glad to hear DW is all paid for and that you're getting some hair again. Take care.
Sounds like things are going well. I thinking about you daily and praying. Hugs.
