My PIC line maintenance nurse, Sonhwa, was kind enough to print the results of my latest blood test for me this morning. I’m happy to report my white blood cell count is back up enough for me to undergo my fifth chemo treatment tomorrow. I feel like I won the lotto…or at least a gift card to another wonderful morning.
While having cancer has plenty of not-so-happy moments, little triumphs like this make me want to celebrate. And I do, every one of them!
It was the medicinal princess cake, I’m sure!
Yup, the magical powers of marzipan at work!
Wonderful news, Joyce. I know radiation stops soon. What about the current chemo?? It’s so good to hear the excitement in your voice. It’s so good to feel like you have some control of the situation. I hope tomorrow goes very well.
love, Bonie
Last radiation is 3/1, last chemo is on 3/4. Yes, I was surprised by how happy this made me…but I’ll take it!
OOOPS!! It is Bonnie….I’m hardly “boney” after all my travels this past year.
I love that… gift card to another wonderful morning.”
WOW!! Next month, right around the corner, is monumental in the process. Hopefully, you will have a “vacation” until further notice. I’m hoping.
I’m very glad you were able to have your chemo yesterday! What’s this about marzipan? (Yum.)
I’m also glad you’ll have a break from radiation and chemo before St. Pat’s Day.

Marzipan reference was in acknowledgement of Princess Cake, which my friend Diana gifted us with.
Happy Saturday!

Yay!!
Just wanted to know that you will be in my prayers, I am recovering from cancer of the larynx and have a trach tube so cannot speak. Being treated at Cedars Sinai and have been declared cured was stage 3 underwent nine weeks of chemo and radiation also practically killed me but slowly getting better. I just wanted to let you know how special you are to God and your guardian angel who follow you through your journey. Cancer changes us and our objectives in life and lead us to become better persons I think. Your sense of humor has allowed younto through a lot of the terrors of the disease as has me. Don’t forget God created you and loves you infinitely more than you can imagine. Good luck and I will pray for you every day for your recovery. Love always, Candy Bowman
