No more rotisserie! I received the last chemotherapy in the series of six today, and am I ready to be done! To avoid nausea all of my pre-meds were given IV so I have been riding a little purple cloud today. This AM I couldn't even move around, now I am fairly comfortable but haven't attempted to eat for hours. The nursing staff put banners all over my room congratulating me . And they found the book that I left here last time.

This week has been the hardest so far, and the next few days will be icky too, but both John and I are glad to have the taxol/cis-platin behind us. And it will be nice not having to come to the hospital several times a week.

  1. Maybe to help celebrate, John can put something on the BBQ rotisserie for you guys. Congrats to a very inspiring couple! I am sure that the wedding vows you guys took long ago---have been tested, and now, when both of you take a great sigh of releief, you can find some better things to do than spend time in the hospital. Hugs to you both Heidi

  3. Kay - I am so happy to hear you are done with the chemo. Not surprising that the nursing staff decorated your room; you are such a kind and caring person they are probably sad to see you go! Please take care of yourself and continue to keep us posted. Love, Connie

  4. I echo all the sentiments of being glad that you are finished with your chemo. What a trooper you are! The altos missed you mightily on Wednesday. Beth has chosen a bunch of very spirited songs for us to sing. It will be a great year and Greg Thompson has volunteered to re-energize the bell choir. (I think that is what you call it. :) So get well fast and come sing with us or come listen to us sing.
    Love, PEGGY
