Hi all -

Ugh! Feeling nauseated is not much fun. Two days into the chemo, and two to go for this round with one drug. The other drug I'm carring on my person like a purse (with a lovely pump inside) until Saturday. Reminds me of Laura as a collicky infant, as she would cry whenever she was put down, so much of the time I carried her or rested her on my chest. Tonight I'm feeling worried about the cumulative effects of the radiation as my mouth is already feeling a little sore. Like the lion off to see the wizard, I need courage. And probably more drugs than I can imagine!

I am so blessed by my loving friends. Dinners delivered, phone and email messages of love and support, gifts in the mail, a friend (Lisa) who sat with me during chemo today, then drove me to acupuncture, to run errands, and fed me lunch, the list goes on.........If there a gift to going through this ordeal, it 's feeling the love of you all, and feeling more connected to you as a result. This will help me to bear it.

Off to watch American Idol with Laura. 

Much love,

Sue
