thank you so much everyone. I am sitting here crying and so depressed. We go to the Dr.s tomorrow because the blood count was down. So we do another blood work and chemo if platelets aren't too low on Wed of next week. What a rollercosaster ride.

    I have often said that not
    I have often said that not only is Cancer a rollercoaster ride, but after we sit down, we notice that not only are there no seatbelts, there is oil on the tracks and its starting to rain! So, we have no choice but to hold on literally for dear life! We are shoulder to shoulder with the one sitting next to us, and we scream with terror as we go around the loops and dips~ just knowing we are going to fly out at any second. But ya know what? We make it to the end of the ride, bruised and battered, and sooo never wanting to get on a rollercoasteragain. But we are ALIVE! And thankful and giddy that we made it off that damned ride! So, bless your heart~ hold on to each other and you will both make it through !!

    Hugs,
    Claudia

    Sending kleenex...
    I'm sending cyber kleenex your way (buy them by the case load!!). First time I heard Claudia's rollercoaster story, I cried even harder!! Then I cried out (more like shouted) because I realized how true it was!! We will be thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers. You will make it off the ride!! :) Pammy
