Whew...what a day. Started off with my chemotherapy treatment #15. Can you believe that? Already 5 months of treatment. Seems like it was just yesterday that I was starting this journey. Anyway, Monica was there right by my side and we started to watch "Precious" on her DVD player, but half-way through she ran to the restroom and I proceeded to catch up on some sleep :( She walked out of the bathroom and almost laughed because she was afraid when she left me that I might fall asleep. I don't usually sleep during treatment, but apparently I didn't get enough sleep last night. Once I awoke, we tried to watch the rest, but didn't quite finish it up. Of what we saw, wow, pretty intense movie. Poor girl.
After treatment we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory for lunch (and to see John). While we were there a lady came over because she heard us talking about chemotherapy. She was 14 years cancer free!! What a neat lady. I told her that although I never wanted to join the "cancer club", once you're in it, people come from out of the woodwork to welcome you in. There are wonderful people who have conquered cancer and are willing to help. God bless her. I'm so happy that she stopped to say hello & share her story, I needed to hear that.
After dropping Monica off @ home, the kids and I went to the train station to pick up my nephew, Ryan, who came from San Jose for the weekend. Ryan is the son of Bob & Marcy (John's sister & brother-in-law). I can't say enough about that family, they're incredible people. For an 18 year old to drop everything and take the train as soon as he heard about my diagnosis 6 months ago, that speaks volumes. This is a good family & we're blessed to be a part of it.
