6 Down, None to Go!!!!

Chemo number 6 is completed and that's it....I'm all done!!! I know everyone is cheering and I really would like to, but you need to give me a couple days to feel a little more up to the whole Yippee thing. Then I will be dancing all over the place knowing that there is no number 7!!

Everything went well today. The boys were really good but it was a long day for them. They revived somewhat when we made a side trip to Toys R Us on the way home. It's amazing how that works.

I have absolutley no vanity or pride any more so I am going to tell you this story because with my sense of humor (and the drugs in my system) I think it's hilarious. Those of you who know me well know that I can burp with the best of them at any time but I'm not much of a "tooter" (that's the only other word we use in our house besides fluff). Chemo tends to make you very, very gassy. You have no idea, I'm talking gas...I am typing this laughing my head off. Well, there are times that "it" seems to go on forever and the boys look at me with this amazed, shocked, horrified, unbelievable look on they're faces. I innocently look at them and simply say excuse me but don't blame me it's the chemo! Geoffrey has gotten to the point where he looks at me so compassionately and sweetly and says, it's okay Mom it's the chemo right? Andrew, my cynical and questioning one, on the other hand is starting to think I'm just using that as an excuse. So today, while we are waiting for "Mr. Serious and Down to Business Dr. Younis" to come in, Andew tells me he is going to ask him if it really is the chemo or am I lying! Randy and I quickly and quietly tell him that it would not be a good idea (especially if he enjoys life the way it is now!!). Part of me was laughing inside at what that kid comes up with and the other part was a total wreck waiting for him to blurt that out to the Dr. despite our dire warnings.

Common sense prevailed on the part of my son and the planned trip to Toys R Us was fulfilled!!!

As you can probably tell the drugs are running thick and freely through my system so it is time to shut up. I am tired and nauseated so it is off to bed. Love to all.
