CHEMO ROUND #3

Chemo round 3 started today. Moms white blood count is down below what they would like to see it but since everything else is good they are going to go ahead with another round. She is not quite sure about this one. She is really weak and sick and tired of being sick of tired I guess. That is understandable, I can't even imagine. I spent the afternoon with her yesterday and you wouldn't even be able to tell she was miserable because she is always joking and laughing about something. I wish I could be as optimistic as she is. She just deals with the cards that have been dealt... she has always been good about that. Chemo went well today. One of the chemo drugs she has was reduced a little and she is becoming a pro at the whole process. She said she took a nap and worked on a puzzle. After this round we will re-evaluate the treatment and make a decision on what to do next. Mom and dads friends Marsha & Mike Beacham (I probably spelled the wrong) have some kind of herbal tea that is suppose to be really good for cancer patients. She was going to go out to the house tonight to bring them some and educate them about it. Mom was pretty excited. She was also happy to report she got some CUTE HATS ON SALE in arizona and couldn't wait to show them to me when I was there yesterday.

Chris,
Happy to hear that you are back home. We looked for you at the stake meeting tonight, but didn't get to see your sweet face. It was a great meeting.
Hope to see you soon. We have smoked fish and more blueberries if you would like some!
Love ya
Deb and Lar
