Down the rabbit hole....

Wed July 15

"In another moment down went Alice after [the rabbit], never once considering how in the world she was to get out again. The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down what seemed to be a very deep well." Lewis Carroll


That is kind of how it feels. Today is the first day of chemo - 16 weeks of dose dense AC-Taxol - administered every 2 weeks.....the first of three legs in this treatment journey. I don't usually condone violence but I am looking forward to having the chemo kill cancer cells! I really would like them out of my body!


Thanks to all of you who have offered support! I can drive to and from chemo and appointments and should be able to work through it as well. So, I still don't know what else I will need during chemo but I will keep you all posted.

In general, though, I can always use food and company :)... and Dish-walking buddies on the weekends. (I'm supposed to walk/exercise as much as I can during chemo)

Julie: In case you haven't yet discovered this, there are some teas you can brew to help with the nausea. They probably all smell/taste noxious, but anything that helps...

We are here for you. Love, Janice and Jim
