Chemo Has Begun

One down, seven to go. Treatment today has gone very well. I feel normal so far and have eaten dinner and just resting this evening. I go for a white blood cell booster shot tomorrow and then next Tuesday (9th) for Lab work, if good, we proceed to 12/16/08 for chemo treatment #2 and we follow this regiment for 8 weeks. I will keep everyone informed as I go along.

Thanks for your continous prayers and well wishes. Jim and I are looking forward to the holidays with our daughter, Carrie, Jeremy, and Madison along with our son, Curtis, Sulein, and our new granddaughter Jia.

Cuz,
So sorry to hear of your battle with the big C. I sounds as though you have a lot of support from friends and fam. Count us in on the fam side. Keep fightin' and you'll come out on the other side, stronger than ever with those famous legs of yours! Hoping your Christmas is filled with fun and a better 2009!
Love and blue skies,
Jan and Gary St. Peter

Bettie Jane,

I was so happy to see your Christmas card in the mail but so sad to hear that you're going through this. You are in my thoughts and I know that you'll come through this with flying colors!
