Our bratty cat - Wolfy

Hello Everyone!

     Another week and another chemo treatment because this week my blood counts (red & whites) were good. Mondays are always difficult for me because my appointments are always scheduled on that day and the hospital visits last from 2-5 hours. Many of the wonderful staff at St. E’s hospital knows me by name and they make my visits more tolerable. But, sitting in the treatment room with up to 7 other cancer patients with all of us hooked up to chemo I.V.’s is a very sad and grueling experience. I prefer to have my treatments in a private room with a bed and TV which is so much more enjoyable but the private rooms are not always available. My oncologist, Dr. Chi, is upset at me because I am losing weight and has threatened me with a special diet supplement to help me add some weight. But, I prefer to do it all naturally and promise to increase my food intake.

     Jake has just 2 weeks of school remaining and then the prom and graduation follow. This is such an exciting time for Jake and me. I will take plenty of photos and share them with you all.

I am thinking and living positively!

With much love,

Bren
