Well, I started chemo yesterday around noon and things went pretty well until about 3 o'clock. Then shortly before I went home, I stared to feel pretty bad. By the time I got home I was feeling quite ill. Last night was one of the toughest nights I've ever had in my life. But the good news is I've been feeling dramatically better all morning, managed to eat something a little while ago.  I think they might have to adjust my dosages next time, but I know I can get through this.

My sister Karen is here now, and she and Allison have been taking very good care of me. So, sorry for the downer note of this post, but I know I'm in good hands and looking forward to going ahead with the next treatments.  On Saturday I go to see the doctor, get my IV taken out, do some blood work, and get a shot to boost my immune system. So, that's what's up, and if I don't like the chemo very much, Shirley the tumor doesn't either!

I wrote the above a couple hours ago by dictating into my phone,  and clearly my phone doesn't know the difference between Shirley and surely.  But I'll leave it in there for now, and maybe my tumor will  henceforth be known as Shirley.
