Last FEC treatment today

I am having my last FEC chemo today. My daughter-in-law, Julie has agreed to take me since Len is working today. Thank you, Julie. I am excited to be almost done with this step. It has been easier than I expected (with the exception of the bone pain), but I am ready to go on to the next step. I pray that the Taxotere is an easier chemo to tolerate and that I may be able to skip the Neulasta shot (which is causing all the bone pain).

I am having this chemo a day early in the hopes of joining the MUTS bicycle tour part way through the tour. Len and I have spent the last year planning for this tour and I would love to be a part of it - even if only for a few days. There are 14 teams going this year and the tour is starting this weekend in South Haven, traveling south to Buchanen, Mi then to Potato Creek State Park in northern Indiana. The next stop is Shipshewana. I hope to join them in Shipshewana on Tuesday. They have a day off at Shipshewana and then on to Three Rivers, Mi on Thursday. They will return to South Haven on Saturday, June 20. It is always a great tour with our great tandem friends and the weather looks like it will be nice this year. For all those on the tour - ride safely and have fun!

My great friend, Ellen Zuidema will be coming in on from Detroit on Friday to spend the weekend with me while I recooperate from this chemo. It is going to be such a blessing having her here while Len is starting the tour. Thank you Ellen!

When I got home from chemo today I had another surprise. Robyn brought over a movie, card and candy and Erin got me another plant. Thanks for thinking of me as I go through another round of chemo.
