I am glad to say I have finally gotten over my cold. It sure took a lot out of me.

Since my last blog, we have had 2 rounds of chemo and lots of docs appts. We went to WPG to meet with  the oncology team and everything was very positive. We sure had a good visit with the Stonewall Hamm family. So nice to spend time together. A few of the expected side effects are definately catching up with me. Because of the regime,it was expected that I would become much more fatigued. I sure am.  Also, the steroids are giving me a rounder face and a few extra pounds. I also have a few less eyelashes. What can you do? I am trying to take it all in stride and keep a smile on my face. Thank heavens for family and friends. Special thanks to Mandy who brings the boys to see us every day. 

I have posted a pic of my hair to show off to you all. It is suprising everyone that it is growing even with all this chemo. Sending warm Christmas wishes to all you guys.

  5. Great news that things are going so well for you Donna! You are very inspiring to me. I see you have not lost your sparkle for entertaining by already planning a fundraising party for something. You are a true example of living every moment to its fullest. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family!
