Today was my third chemo treatment. I am doing really good so far. With the exception of the major muscle/body aches and hot flashes I have weathered it really well. This time around I plan on dipping into the Vicodin. Tylenol and Ibuprofen are just not enough. If I take the Vicodin, maybe I will sleep through the pain. That is my hope. My labs have been better than they were prior to chemo starting. My nurse said that I am one of her only 2 "star" patients. God has answered all of your prayers and has made this ordeal bearable. Thanks also for all your cards/notes, phones calls, meals, flowers, gifts, etc. With all this support I am getting through this. We came home to more treats from our kids. This time was Jason and Julie's turn. They left me a subscription to a quilting magazine and a beautiful breast cancer necklace that has "live, laugh and love" inscribed on it. Thank you! I think that the kids (and grandson's) are trying to one up each other. They have been great throughout this ordeal. I am so blessed!
Yesterday, we were able to get out and ride our tandem. We rode 14 miles and I felt good. I hope that I can continue to get a few miles on the bike at the end of each cycle.
My hair is pretty much gone now. The process of losing the hair has been interesting. The pigmented hair came out first leaving me with just white hair for awhile. That was a bit of a surprise. I wonder what it will be like when it starts growing back.
One more thing. We discovered that there is a 10 year old girl dealing with breast cancer. While there definately no right age to have this disease, 10 years old is just not right. She has a blog at: http://www.ourlittlesweetpea.com/
Thanks to all,
Vonnie

Oh boy.. more points for Jason & Julie. Guess I gotta step up my 'game.'
That's very sad, a 10 year old with breast cancer. Did you hear about her during treatments yesterday?
Hugs mom.
I love you.
