A quick update

Hey everyone! Thank you Suzi for updating my blog for me. The last two days have been difficult, but today is a little better. Still nauseous, which I got some different meds for and my migraine is still hanging on but not quite a "10" yet.

I think Suzi caught you all up to date. Only one more thing is that I also have to start giving myself injections in my tummy about 4 days before my next treatment. This will hopefully incourage my bone marrow to produce more white cells. If my count gets too low, they will hold off on chemo and put me in the hospital until the are up enough to continue with treatment. So, I would much rather the shots work!

I have to say that I honestly didn't realize how much is involved with chemo and how live changing it is. I kinda just thought, get chemo, get sick, hair falls out, etc., etc. but we found out its much more than that. Nothing I can't handle though!

I see quite a few people are reading my blog, but not commenting back. I would REALLY appreciate hearing back from all of you...just say hi, or something silly or what you are up to...anything really, ok? I would LOVE it! Oh and you can either sign up for an account (it's free) in order to get my updates, or you can just comment me as anonymous and then sign your name in the body of the comment so I know who it's from.

Well, I'm worn out, so I'm gonna go get some rest. Thanks for all the continued prayers!

Love & Blessings!
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
My name is Susan. You don't know me. I went to high school w/Tom, and I started reading his blog and then Suzi's blog too. That is how I came upon your blog. I love reading friends' blogs, friends I knew before blogging and friends I've met via blogging.

I just wanted to say how couragious and brave I think you are. I will be following your story and adding you and your family to my prayers. Thank you for sharing.

Hang in there, Lisa! Shots in the tummy ...not fun. But better than staying in the hospital. I had no idea chemo involved so much, either. xoxo. Jane
