New Chemo – Navelbine #1
Well, at 2:00 today I had my first Navelbine treatment. It went smoothly. I thought it was only going to take 1/2 hour, but it took 1 1/2 hours. Heather, a new dear friend, took me to lunch before the treatment, to the treatment and then to Target after the treatment! Not too much to report, which is good I guess. Usually the side-effects, if there will be any, come in the two days after treatment. They also gave me another procrit – red blood cell booster – shot today. Long and painful!
I am getting really excited about this weekend. Some of my friends from college are going to be coming out here. It all started when my friend, Susanne, in Wisconsin said she was going to come out and see me. Her flight gets in on Thursday morning. Then Debbie, who lives in San Diego, is going to come on Friday after work. Susan, from Sanger, and Bethany, from Nevada, are coming Friday night as well. It will 5 of 10 of our group of friends from college. It will be nice, too, because Susanne wasn’t able to make it to the October reunion. I think Sol and Kai will be elsewhere Saturday evening, so we’ll have a true girls night – if I don’t fall asleep! 🙂
So that’s about it. Nothing to crazy to report – thank God!
We’ll keep you updated. Next chemo is Tuesday at 2:15.
Monica

Hello,
It was so great to meet the two of you last night at the Market Place. I don’t know if I mentioned it to you but I started a prayer book yesturday and you are at the top of the list. It was no accident we ran into each other. I have seen the miracle the Lord has done in my husbands illness and I will praying that you too will have a miracle.
Blessing,
Rita & Frank
