Has it been that long?

It's been a while since I posted anything...time truly flies.  I'm sure you're all anxiously awaiting my latest words of wisdom, aren't you.  ;-)  LOL!

In actuality, time does fly when you measure it in two week intervals like I have been since the first week in January.  And every two weeks is different.  So, where am I in this process?  I just finished chemo treatment number 6.  This is the second treatment in the second medicine/poison regime (Taxol).  Last time, I had significant muscle and joint aches starting the afternoon of the Saturday after chemo.  Here it is Saturday evening after the second treatment, and I'm relatively ok.  I can feel the aches starting, but it's definitely better.

And that's how the process is going...definitely better.  The tumor is smaller, and the lymph nodes are almost all back to normal.  I'll end chemo in mid-April, and the best outcome is to have all the tumor and the lymph nodes gone. 

Thanks to everyone for all the positive energy coming my way.  I can't say enough how lucky I've been to have everyone behind me.  You truly find out who your friends are in times like this.
