Only two more to go!!!

Hi friends,
It is 3pm and I just finished my 6th round of chemo. They sure are good there in Exeter. My friend Ruth came with me today. I had a foot massage and a dog show and a nice lunch and a lot of good oconversation. Just 2 more to go. I am feeling great! I am back to teaching a lot of classes during the week and walking and doing light jogs on the weekend. Sometimes I like to do hills for an extra challenge. I am feeling stronger and more like my regular self. As I compare my challege to that of today's marathon...I'm heading up heart break hill now! I still really hate being bald, but you all have been so great telling how beautiful I look. I don't feel so beautiful, but it is nice to hear your compliments. So far I have not worn the wig. I've been sticking with the scarves mostly and bandanas to work out. John told me I looked like a pirate the other day. And so did my Uncle Bob! Can you believe the teasing I must endure? "Mom, where is your sword? Where's your parrot?" When I wear the bandana I feel kinda like a biker chick! Oh yeah, I am a real fashion plate!! I still have my eye lashes and brows. I'm crossing my fingers that they don't go.

Thanks for the meals that are coming on the chemo week. I start to fade in the afternoon, so the meals are great for when I'm most tired. Thanks to you all. The food has been wonderful! Thanks too for all of you who have contributed to the house cleaning and misc. account. The cleaners come every other week and do an unbelievable job. It is just such a treat to have them.

John says it seem like I don't have cancer and that I am just the crazy hyper lady I've always been... I guess that is a compliment. My spirits are way up and my body is feeling stronger and stronger. The fresh air and sunshine help. Thank you for all of your prayers and positive vibes. I know that they have contributed to my successful recovery.I promise to post again soon. I know it has been a long time since my last entry. I've just been so busy, and that is a good thing! Kathy
