Counting my blessings

 

From Doris:

My body is responding well to my cancer treatments. My chemo pill #2 dose was increased to 100 mg/day.  

I am learning to deal with the side effects. If I had had to jump to a 400 mg pill (the final strength) instead of 100 mg pill this week, I don’t know how I would have survived the side effects.

That I only have to increase my pill strength two more times before I am at the strength needed for the remainder of my treatments.

Steve, one of the CIC nurses, told me I am one of his favorite patients.  He enjoys talking to Paul and me.

The interior of our house will be professionally painted the week of September 22nd.

I went on walks with Paul four days this week. I can only manage 10–15-minute walks currently.

Two friends came to my house and visited with me this week.

My biopsy wound has healed.
