Chemo #6 is over--halfway there!

Chemo #6 went smoothly, especially after my appointment witht the oncologist. He had the results from yesterday's PET scan, and my cancer has shrunk in all areas! It was interesting and exciting to see the photographic comparison--how clear it is to see what was there in March, and what is smaller now.

I am a little wobbly and weak from chemo, but John and I just did our cul-de-sac walk (13 houses) and that went okay. Another side effect from chemo is neuropathy--prickly fingers, toes, and mouth from something too cold. That side effect is strongest just after chemo.

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers so far! You are all part of my happiness and celebration today!
