.... is the free massage! Here, Sharon works her magic as I wait for my lab results to tell me if I am able to get chemo. She is wonderful!! She and another massage therapist, Cindy, each work two mornings a week giving massages to patients and their caregivers. It actually gives me something to look forward to when going to chemo... and really helps to let go of the tension that I have built up in anticipation of my treatment. Not only are they great massage therapists, they are both very kind and have soothing personalities that automatically put you at ease. I am very grateful that they are there!I was able to get my treatment today!! My ANC jumped from 1.15 to 1.65 overnight! I think the massage, a good nap, and an evening with good friends had a lot to do with it! :) The treatment went well, and was very speedy today. I was in and out in 4 hours, which is at least 2 hours faster than previous treatments! Now, I'm off to nap and cuddle with my lovely fanny-pack which contains a pump that continues to infuse me with 5-fu for the next 42 hours.
Goodnight friends!

I'm happy your mom encouraged you to get out. What a beautiful lake...oh and the massage didn't look to shabby either! Take care of yourself, there's only one of you!
Love the pictures!
at least there is something to look forward to...i hope it doesn't ruin your taste for a good massage though!
again thanks for the update! You look great! Autumn is such a great time of year and I am so glad you are out and enjoying it. Where did you find that place?? Marsha
