chemo

Hi friends

Aug. 11 started chemo
(or as my pal Bonnie calls it "healing waters'.) It went very well,. They make you very comfortable, TV, warm blankets, lots of water. It took about 2 hours, then we went to lunch, the library,nap and then one half hour of yard work(no heavy lifting) No side effects yet. Thanks again for all the calls, cards and tributes I am deeply moved
Love ya Mar

update Aug.4

Hi friends
Went to lunch with 3 good friends today ,had a great time. I will be starting chemo next week and then radiation. They want to zap all those cancer cells that could be hiding .I am feeling stronger and don't need as many naps (although both of us are napping these days). All most every day we get photos and videos of our darling Jacob who we will see soon. Not sure when yet. Max is doing fine still playing golf and softball,God bless him
