3 Chemos Down, 1 To Go!!

Today was number 3 chemo....all went well, in and out in the usually 3.5 hours. We are skipping the Neulasta, so no bone pain this time (yeah) and hopefully no head/scalp issues! I just hope my labs will be as good as they have been without it! I did speak with my Oncologist, Corrie, and we decided that if the head thing happens again, I will be done with chemo and we will move onto the 7 weeks of radiation. I can not do that pain and illness again, it was so horrible! I compare the pain on my head to nerve pain like Shingles, I can't live another week like that! But anyway, Dave came in with me, we dropped Emma at my office, and my girlfriend Nicole, who is 22, took Emma for the chemo time and they had a ball!!! They hit Quincy Market, Build A Bear, somehow acquired a Black Cat Webkinz, then they went to the Aquarium and had a ball, where yet another stuffed seal appeared!! Emma is good! Dave and I managed a nice lunch at the chemo side table....Bertuccis (hot rolls, butter, garden salad with chicken and chicken & ziti dish!! Yummy! So lets see how this week goes with out the Neulasta, I will keep you all posted!!

I have a feeling you will be fine this time, just tired. Sounds like Emma was super spoiled today! Can I go out with Nicole sometime too???

Love, Lisa

HI!
The house seemed "funny" without Emma, but Jake, Tigger, Princess,Lucy, and the fish and I had a lovely, quiet afternoon. Of course, I worried about everyone the whole afternoon, but, hopefully, this third time's the charm. PLEASE REST! Love from your MOM....;) :) ;)
