OK - flexibility! It's a good thing for some things. Cancer may be one of them! Madison called today at 12:30 p.m. while we were lunching at McD's (remember, it's Friday and many of the Andersons along with other family, friends, and who ever comes eats lunch at McD's every Friday...stop by sometime!!) and said the drug was in. We were thrilled! (I wondered if transplant patients feel like this...waiting and wondering and then you get "the call" and off you go!!) We made it to Madison, did the lab work and got all hooked up with the chemo drug. Tiny little bag - must not be a 1/2 cup of liquid in it. And get this - NO nausea medicine. None. I got a little concerned and asked the nurse 3 different times about it. She kept saying "you won't need it". Don kept looking at me like - she doesn't know you!!! Finally, I had a little talk with myself first and the conversation went something like this...you are going to MAKE yourself sick if you keep this up, so STOP IT! Then I handed it to God and mentioned that I hoped these folks knew what they were talking about!!

We were in and out in a jiffy, though it was just about a 6-hour trip all together. It's about 8:00 and I am just fine. Tired and feeling a little strange - like how could I have gotten this chemo stuff and feel just fine-strange, but good! I'll take it!!!

Next Friday, same thing...Lord willing.

Have a great weekend...and give the Lord thanks for the blessings in your life...I'm guessing they are many!

Love,
Deb

    I love you Deb. Thanks for being such a great Christian example for all of us. Doesn't it feel great when you hand things over to God? The burden is so much lighter. I hope you have a peaceful evening. I'll see you tomorrow at lunch.
    Love ya sister,
    Donna :-)
