How about a big Spaw hug Wendy? Think that'll help? Take one anyway! Karen said she'll send hers too and she gives good hug! Take it from me, I know!

Just finished Round 8 of chemo and there is some possibility that that in a few months, after Round 12, I may get a break if the numbers are still good. Now for just a brief moment, let me whine. Here we go. WHINE ALERT:

I feel like I've been shit at and hit. The one thing I do know about this damned drug is that it has no real pattern save for one. Last time for instance I began feeling rough on Tuesday but this time I still felt great until Thursday AM when the walls all caved in. On Friday it was the absolute pits and also sadly our anniversary. But we talked and hugged and Karen made a good meal that I could barely eat. I am so blessed to have her...............Now today the bottom has fallen out and THAT is the only thing I do know about the Vidaza. By Friday I'll be bad and Saturday worse. Sunday will be pretty blah with marginal but much needed improvement until sometime Wednesday when the curtain lifts as though it was never there. Damn but I friggin' hate this! I really hate every bit of it except my Oncology infusion nurses who are really wonderful.   And my wonderful best friend that married me 27 years ago. WHINE ENDS

Maeve, I saw that post of Charlie's the other day and also a post he'd made on another good thoughts thread running where he said he'd recently been the beneficiary and had to start giving back. Hope we see him back here soon. Tam.....Get better huh? (;<))
