Finally...

i had another chemo treatment today. It has been delayed for the last 2 weeks because of increased redness and sensitivity in my hands. It doesn't help that the temperature is only 15ยบ!
One of the side effects of this new drug I am receiving is that it effects hand and feet. Other that just being annoying, I haven't had any other problems with it. We are decreasing the dosage and plan on doing the next treatment March 10th . Scans will then be repeated and based on those we will take the next step...whatever that may be. I do know that I will most likely be done with chemo!

My arm is slowly improving. I have a much greater range of motion after being tortured (not really) by my very caring and competent physical therapists. The swelling is down and I can now begin wearing a compressions sleve during the day. It should be much more comfortable than 5 layers of bandages that I have been using for the past 5 weeks.

Dan and the kids have been well and keeping busy.

Here is a sweet treat I recieved today...an "Edible Arrangement."

Very cute. Heart and flower shaped pineapple and chocolate covered strawberries (my favorite)! We "attacked" it after dinner and it is delicious...something for everyone.
Thank you dear friends.
