Hey, CMD. How ya doin?

1. My roller coaster is going up this week

Hi Uban and Friends,

This is my week off of chemo. I am feeling great, eating well and living! The last three weeks of chemo got progressively worse. Last weekend was the most horrible that I have had since my first week. All the nasty side effects ganged up on me.

I don't have much stamina, but I just take things a little bit at a time. I had a great day with my sister today. We had Mexican for lunch, then headed for Amish country to do some shopping. I got a new pair of handcrafted earrings, a gourmet cheese ball and topped it off with homemade ice cream. I rarely spoil myself like that.

I'll meet with the doctor on Wed. and find out what he has in store for me next. I guessing he will do another three rounds of chemo along with a CT scan. This week I plan to fill up my body with all kinds of good food and get ready for three weeks of misery.

I think of you often, Uban. When I get down, I remember that Carol is no longer with us and that I should not be complaining. Right now I'm pretty darn lucky.

I love you all and am very grateful for the messages you send my way. cmd
