Day 2

Lisa, my middle child, brought me over for what supposed to be 20 minutes. I have now learned that when they say a time for your chemo, that is how long the medicine takes to give me, not the time when I'll be there. I had to wait for my vitals to be taken, and then 30 minutes later, the medicines started. Unfortuantely, by now Lisa had to leave for work and I had to come upon one of my many friends who volunteered to drive to take me home. My neighbor Jeanette, came and was not real thrilled about driving over the Ben Franklin Bridge in the sleeting weather that day. She said, "Betsy, I'll be glad to do this again, but not on a snowy day."

The nurses are great and caring. I talked to a retired doctor today who visits the patients now that he has more time. He used to work in the unit. He had some very uplifting information that everything was going to be okay and explained about the radiation that will be forthcoming when the chemo is done.


Cat Scan - Had this test on Friday, February 9 and had to drink 3 glasses of barium for a 3 minute test. My brother Denny took me over and stayed with me. Today we got the results that none of the cancer has spread to other parts of my body. A RED LETTER DAY
