 Sorry I haven't posted much in the last week and didn't respond to anyone. I was having major cable modem problems. Everytime I'd get into this site or other sites, the computer would reboot itself. So I went out and bought a completely different modem and hooked it up over the weekend. But I had to wait until today to call Comcast to have it activated. So I'm back!!

I finished my 2ND ROUND OF CHEMO last week. I'll see Dr. Hahn this Thursday for a check-up and bloodwork.


This passed Thursday was the day for the Neulasta shot (helps keep white blood cells up). The shot is in the belly and it hurts... not as bad as the Aranesp but it still burns. I never look forward to it!!


Well.... my nurse gave me the syringe to hold and try to warm up since they are refrigerated. I held it for about 15 to 20 minutes so it was good and warmed up. I got up to get a drink and she saw me. She apologized and said she had forgotten I was there. It was real quiet in there that day. So she came out and gave me the shot. Warming it up makes a huge difference!!!! I barely even felt the needle. It's the medicine in the syringe that is painful and I didn't even feel it. I told Jeanette to make sure I warm up all syringes in the future for at least 15 minutes!!!!!

I've been wondering where you've been. I thought perhaps you were hiding in a monastery in Tibet. Glad to hear you're doing ok.

I read about the eating of corn and had to laugh so hard. Are you trying to "pop" everything bad out of you. That is the first that I have heard anyone on chemo liking corn like that. Sure glad to hear that the chemo is going good and that you can drive. That must bring a big smile!!!
Was nice to hear that a cancer site was "quiet". Wouldn't it be great if they didn't have any patients.
