HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIEL!

Today is my baby Daniel's 12th Birthday. I can't believe how time flies. We will be having a party for him and his cousin Dominick tonight at my parents house. Dominick's 10th birthday was yesterday. They planned this party together and they even decorated the basement last week!

As for me I am feeling good. Ready for the new chemo drug on Tuesday. Maybe that one will allow me to find my brain. I lost it a while ago. As soon as something pops in my mind, it is gone. I was very proud of myself yesterday, I actually went grocery shopping all by myself. I was thinking of going Christmas shopping, but I don't do Black Friday. That is for amateurs, I can find a bargain any day of the year!

What I am thankful for:

You. I am thankful for all my wonderful family and friends. Thanks for all your love, support, gifts, calls, emails and prayers. People like you make this battle a whole lot easier. All my love and please have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Nothing much going on

I know I was supposed to update you all yesterday, but it was a very boring day. I went to the doctors and found out my counts were low again. So there went my big plans to go to Target! But the doctor and I did talk about me being half way through Chemo. Starting Tuesday the drugs change. The new one will be easier to deal with, so she says. I had the choice of going for a weaker treatments and going every week for three months, or going for the stronger dosage every other week for two months. I opted for the two months. I need this to be over sooner!

Last night Joe and I started "our" paper for English. Anyone know anything about Julius Caesar? Tenth grade was so long ago!

Baby Daniel is very excited because his birthday is on Saturday. He will be twelve. I guess I should stop calling him Baby Daniel!

Just Another Update

Hi all. I just saw a few of my friends and they told me that I need to update more often. I said I did not want to bore you all, but they say they check daily and need updates.

So here goes. Today I put on some makeup and my wig and went to a benefit for a little boy who has leukaemia. Boy what a wake up call! He is adorable and is about two or three years old and he will be in treatment until 2011.

It was a tricky tray and I did not bring my luck with me. I along with Colleen were the only ones at our table who did not win. But it was fun. Then on the way out, Colleen's cousin gave me one of her baskets and my friend Georgia game me one of her prizes. So I am not a big looser after all! Good thing for friends!

As for me I feel good. A little tired now, but good. Tomorrow I sleep until my doctors appointment. Tomorrow is easy, I just give blood and see the doctor. I should be out in an hour. As compared to Chemo days when I am there for at least three and a half. I first get my vitals checked, then I give blood, then see the doctor and then get hooked up to my drugs for two hours. It is a long process, but it is halfway over! Yeah! I should be done in mid January.

I will update you all tomorrow!
