I have so enjoyed my extra week off chemo. We went on a 5 hour ride on Sat. (stopped at a antique store and bought a great rocking chair for a GREAT price), and over 4 hours on Sunday riding and then going to a car show and then out to eat. We stopped for dinner both days (we spoiled ourselves), and stopped at Bakers in Milford for their car show. We were both sooo pooped when we finally got home. Bill fell asleep on one couch and me on the other. This was after being out for about 7 hours–ride and car show and dinner.
It feel soooo good not being nausous and not having so many unexpected series of diarrhea in this last week! Thank you God!
Today we are going to our son’s for a BBQ. I am once again so happy to be feeling well!
On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week I go back on the chemo. But that’s ok, I am thankful for what I had this last week! And, memories are so awesome!
Happy Holiday to all!

I love reading your posts Sue. Always so positive. You see the blessings given to you in even the small things. You are an inspiration! It is nice to be off of treatment isn’t it? Glad you are having so many wonderful days.
Dear Sue,
With all that you have going on yourself it’s very humbling that you think about our soldiers, some that are very far away and away from their families, many that are here and trying to be rehabbed from injuries that will affect them for the rest of their young lives. Being a Mother of a US MARINE THAT HAS BEEN DEPLOYED 2 TIMES TO IRAQ AND MY YOUNGEST SON THAT IS IN THE US NAVY. So, my thoughts are always with them. Today really makes me think of Jordan even more for I learned that I was pregnant with him on Memorial Day. Getting up @ 4am to do the EPT ( I had to be @ work @ 7am)I did the test @ 4am and I waited about 10 minutes and it didn’t change so I laid back down thinking that perhpas I just wasn’t getting enough sleep or had a bug but then when I got back up that stick was VERY POSITIVE! I called every family member. So, this day is special for many reasons.
I don’t know if you watch OPRAH but if you do then you are familiar with Dr. OZ. Last week by oncologist’s brother, Dr. Brian Weiss a world renowned psychiatrist from Miami, that will be doing a workshop with Kris Carr. He has been on literally every reputable show such as 20/20, etc. Whereas, my oncologist is very content with no even having a website. It’s funny brotherss that are both so very intelligent and famous in their specialized fields, and Dr. Weiss’ wife is his partner in the Oncology group and his daughter is now in Medical school and will join them. Talk about some smart genes in that family. I go back in the hospital on June 4, 2008 for a repeat bone marrow biopsy. He had put it off for an extra 6 months due to the very low platelet count of 28 and a very low H & H in Feb., so we are all praying for a good biopsy results. I hve to stay confident that if in fact the result are less than what we are hoping far, they will get back in normal range again, just patience is something that i have had to learn. Good Luck to you
Hugs, Patty
