Well, looks as if the chemo is doing what it's supposed to do, Michelle... I mean, if it wasn't having this effect on the good stuff in your body then it most certainly wouldn't be going after the bad stuff, as well... This is the worst part... It's kinda like being in a small plane and doing a dive... But the doctors ain't gonna let you crash... They will pull back on the yoke when they have to and treat you and get you thru the sc arey parts...

As you know, I lost my late wife to cancer but she had a rare form of inflmatory cancer that has a less than 5% survivor rate... Compared to what you are going thru and how you are holding up I want you to know that you are doing great... I won't go into the stuff that the chemo did to Judy but just believe me that you should thank yer lucky stars for doing so well... Really!!!

Yeah, they never quite get around to telling you just how chemo really works... Just know that you are doing fine with it... They'll get you thru this part and then you'll be in the home strectch... In no time at all your hair will be all grown back and this will be just a distant memory...
