Ho ho ho. It begining to feel a lot like Christmas. Kelly has decorated our house up and it is really getting me into the Christmas spirit. The kids have been joking as they drive up to the house that we look like real grandparents these days with all our lights, decorations and knick knacks in the yard. We think they look great:)
Round 8 of chemo went well, but since then I have gotten a bad cold. Guess we will see what tomorrow brings, but certainly still hoping to have round 9 of chemo this Thursday as scheduled. This will mark halfway through my chemo! I have to say thanks so much for my chemo dates. I am thankful to have not been alone for chemo at all.
The chemo sure is accumulative as I have been feeling more and more played out. My grandkids keep me on my toes and feeling motivated. Thank heavens for my family.
We are off to Winnipeg on Tuesday to meet with the Oncology team. All appointments and meetings to now have all been very positive. We are so thankful.
So, if your reading this, you probably know how much our family loves a good party. We will soon be announcing details of a party we will be putting on to raise funds for a fantastic local organization. It's will be our way of paying foward all the kindness and support we've been shown. We are really excited about this and will keep you in the loop.

Well cant hardly believe its November! The time is going by quickly..seems i count off the weeks by blood tests,drs appoinbtments and chemo dates. I continue to feel very fortunate that this cancer journey Im on has been going fairly well for me. My blood work continues to be within the normal range. My CA 125 is excellent. This is all really encouraging.
Thanks to all of you wonderful people who continue to show such kindness to our family. I find your kindess overwhelming at times and very touching.
I got a picture given to me yesterday made by a friend. She recently ran in the Terry Fox run. Her shirt that day said I'm running for Aunty Donna. You can see her artwork posted on this blo. Things like this sure keep me feeling inspired.
I have a very busy week ahead. Plan to spend time with Sawyer and Fraser, also have a telehealth appointment to meet with my surgeon and doctors from Winnipeg, blood and doctors appt
on Wednesday as well as a big chemo on Thurs. This is my seventh chemo. Then will try to take it easy this weekend.
My hair has been growing back. My poor hairdresser Carol has her work cut out for her as I am gray as can be!
Kelly is doing great 98% of the time with his quitting smoking thanks to Thrive gum and cheezies. Kyle is doing well in schooling and Wes, Amanda and the boys are busy busy. They dressed the boys up as monkeys for Halloween. So cute.
Thats all for now. Well keep you all in the loop after this week.
