Monday update

Steroids have worn off and chemo side affects have kicked in. Hoping to feel better in a few days.

I guess my white cell blood count is going to drop in the next few days too, causing my immune system to be weakened. As much as I love you all, please stay away during this vulnerable time if there is any chance you are sick. And please don't be offended if I just blow you a kiss from a distance.

Thanks for all your support. Trying to remember the positive part of chemo...kill the cancer! I'll hold on to that for awhile. Much love, Kate

I'm so sorry you feel so awful, but am glad you're moving in the right direction & feeling better.

My read is that this is getting that little bugger outta there and for that, I am grateful!

Love you, Sweetie!

Katherine Ann - Sounds like when I'm trying to lose weight - if I'm hungry that's a good sign I'm doing the job. (Not that I've felt hungry since Thanksgiving...) If you're feeling funky it's a good sign that you and the chemo are doing your jobs. You've always been an excellent, focused worker and obviously, once again, you're on task.

Since you're feeling so ucky I'll assume it's best to put tomorrow's visit on hold. Please know that there is a rusty CRV full of hugs, wine, care and knitting projects awaiting your green light.

Love, momo
