So the men and women who wore their red power ties and suits always make for interesting commentary for the State of the Union Address. Me a power red sweatshirt today brought me good luck to receive chemo. A true relief. Each week will be a close monitoring now while I try to finish out the intended 20 weeks of chemo. The true amount will not be disclosed until the trial is unblinded after the 20th week. Meanwhile my weight has stabilized some so I have gone to the chicken and fish diet with low saturated fats, laying off the red meat now, red beans instead, nuts, seeds, and yes the liver healing family of brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cabbage. Plus all the approved veggies and fruit I can eat. Keeping the water flowing until I float. This along with the propping up of all the gals in Oncology: Lisa Sweatt, Sarah with an H, Heather, Kristen, Linda, Nyla, Maria, Kate and Katie, Dr Hammond always behind the scenes if it's not our day with him, the check in and check out gals, lab gals, the clinical trial team, and everyone else who takes part in care. They have been extra wonderful to us these past two weeks. Checking in on both of us and giving us hugs and supportive statements. Just as all of you have provided the same for us - I can't say it enough how much it means to have your love, hugs, kisses, cards, emails, visits, yummy dinners, and general good karma. It is the fuel to keep us going.
