Good news from the doc.  I saw him this afternoon and he said my blood is looking good and my spleen seems to be a little softer.  I am having my next treatment on the 23rd, and the following week I will be having another full body scan.  That will be the most accurate measure of how I am responding to the chemo.

Had to have yet another blood draw after my appt. and also went to the x-ray department to schedule my scan.  Everyone I sat next to and ALL the nurses I saw in the various departments loved my scarf hat.  Even the doctor said it was really awesome.  All the nurses told me I should sell them.  I was really happy to hear everyone liked it.  I will let you see how I looked today.  I'm still really tired, that seems to be the most long-lasting side effect.  On that note, I need to get to bed!  Talk to you soon.

I just realized I haven't loaded my picture on my computer, so I will do it tomorrow and will add it then.

  2. I'm really happy to hear that your side effects have been manageable. I think about you often. So glad you're there with Courtney and see the boys on a regular basis. Hope the scan shows that your body is responding well to the treatment and gives you some peace of mind. Karen :)
