Picture of me getting my blood test on this last Friday. My counts were okay. My red blood cells seem to be the ones a little harder hit. I went from 14.3 on the start day to 12.4 in one week. This, of course, prompted my mother and Scott to start talking about different high iron foods. The problem is I don't like liver or blood sausage...such problems. Ha, Ha! Don't worry, I'm eating all the other high iron foods instead. Feeling great today! I am starting my list of things to get done in the next 5-6days for the next chemo! Can't tell you how much I am looking forward to it!

Do you not want to show your new hair cut or what? Saw your mother on Sunday at Granite City- Margaret too -- do not wear yourself out cleaning! Spend your time with Scott and the dogs on walks or in the park -- there is plenty of time to clean in your life, you only have this one opportunity to rest and get ready for the cancer treatments to win the battle. 'nuf of my preaching but you know it comes from love and concern. I love you. You hungry? Go meat!

Do you have a juicer? Try carrot and beet juice. No joke it's good.
