Hi everyone! That's my mom. She came in for the first chemo to hang out and clean! It's been great having the help. I think I definately over-estimated how much I would be able to do after chemo. I'm just used to having soooo much energy that the lack of it seemed impossible to me. I'm here to tell you...chemo definately makes you tired. I feel much better today. My mom and I have been going to Target a lot. It's amazing that you can go there day after day and still have more to buy. I have a blood test tomorrow to see how low my counts went. Then it will be time to start preparing for the next round. Thanks again everyone for all the love!
love ya...Hope Q.

Good morning Dana and Hope and Scott - glad you feel somewhat better today. Let me know about the Blood tests, ok? Do they adjust the treatment according to the tests? FYI Austa, Peggy and Katie ask about you regularly.Between you and your mother and me we must own big shares in Target by now. Have fun and shop while you can! Love and prayers for you, Aunt Lola

Sweet haircut, how was the ativan? That sounds like good stuff. Let me know if you need anything- I'm always up for watching a movie!

Hey Hope,

Glad to see you're keeping your spirits up! Sorry I haven't commented at all yet...I've had some pretty major stuff going on in my own life, but I wanted to tell you I'm still keeping you in my thoughts and prayers despite everything! I admire your strength and courage, and you look pretty hot too! :) Miss you.
