Hi...made it home safe yesterday from Madison. Treatment went well and the pattern is the same...a little tired, a little nauseated, and little "discombobulated" is the only word I can think of. I think the "discombobulated" is because of the drugs for the nausea (dizzy, confused) - but it is a pattern of how things are after treatment so it is now "normal". So, I take things a little slower than usual. I went to Woodman's all by myself today - day after treatment and that's a biggee!!! I was tickled and so was Don (although I think had he gone instead of me, we would have gotten only the 3 things on the list, not the 8 bagfuls I came home with!!!).

I must tell you - this cancer thing is just the weirdest thing ever. I do not feel like I have cancer, I do not look like I have cancer, I do not act like I have cancer (except for the drugs and side-effects). It's just weird. So I am taking all this as a huge, HUGE blessing from God and giving Him thanks and praise. And hoping that I can remember His kindness to me if or when the "difficult days" our doctor spoke of come to pass. Not borrowing trouble, just me talking out the top of my head!

Have a great weekend...
Love,
Deb

    Deb....8 bagfuls!?!
    Girl you are going to have to reign yourself in. :-) I'm at least glad you felt like you could do it. I am so proud of you and the witness that you are to others during this most difficult time in your life. The Lord must be smiling.
    Love you much,
    Donna

  3. Dearest Deb,
    You are such an inspiration to those around you.
    Our everyday difficulties seem so trivial after
    reading your messages. Your hope and joy make
    us smile. Blessings to Don for being there for
    you every step of the way.
