Okay, we are coming down the home stretch. Things have been pretty good with the last 2 treatments. I seem to have joint discomfort on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday after the chemo(this is caused by the white blood cell booster shot that I receive on the Wed after chemo). Then I feel really good and have a good 2nd week. I finally got a prescription for pain to take to see if I am more comfortable and am able to sleep those 2 nights. I also discovered that I was losing my big toenails, a side effect of the Taxol. Other than those facts, I am doing great and looking forward to the finish line. I have been able to have more energy and dance more, yeah!!!!
Thank you all for keeping me and my family in your thoughts and prayers. I know that is what helps to keep me going. I am so thankful for my friends who go and sit with me those agonizing hours of waiting while I receive the chemo drop by drop, but YOU make the time go faster. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I believe Jim is anxious for the last one also, just so I can feel like Bettie Jane again and not have to have these strange things happen to my body. We are very grateful that we have only encountered a few side effects and have been able to function. God Bless.

Bettie Jane,
I'm glad to see you're handling everything so well. Wish I was there just up the road to stop and lend a hug or a helping hand.
Love ya - Cindy Blackburn
