Chemo Third Cycle Day 1

Yesterday I went to the cancer clinic for my three week check up.
Well, the CEA level in my blood shows NO cancer. That of course is good news. Can you say: "Praise the Lord" somebody? At least that is what we said.
When I came in a few mentioned that I look so good. One nurse said:" do you feel as good as you look?". I told her that except for the few days after I had stopped the chemo, I have been feeling excellent!

I am back on chemo with a reduced amount. I started the first cycle with 4000mg a day, second cycle, 3000mg, and now I am in the third one, 2300mg. I take 1/2 am and 1/2 pm. We'll see how that goes. I have to finish 10 cycles in total. So I am looking at September before I am done.

Now we are also having this beautiful weather, no more coats.
Who is looking forward to cleaning up your yards? It seems like a big job. I guess we'll just have to do a little at the time. I can hardly wait to sit on my deck and watch the flowers etc. I planted a lot of tulips in the fall. Hopefully they will all come out.

Yvonne and the girls and I went to our weekly Wal-mart/McDonald outing.
We arrived at McDonalds too early, they still had the breakfast menu. So we had to shop around a bit. Well.....you try to explain that to two year old Aila, she threw a fit! I mean, when she sees that big M, there is only one way, and that is IN. So when we came back at 11:00 sharp the girls were "soooooo hungry", at least that is what Anneka said. Aila just attacked that cheese burger and fries. Just as we sat down people came filing in what a line up!

Anyways, we had a good time as always. You may think, what is the big deal. Well, for me right now anything is a big deal, I am so thankfull to the Lord for extending my life, so that I can enjoy the small things in life.

In a while, I get to look after Ron and Lynne's boys Hudson four and Evan three, so that Ron and Lynne can go out on a date.
