In reply to: Stacy 's message, "DOCTOR'S OFFICE UPDATE" on 19:19:41 09/08/05 Thu
 Hi Stacy, I have missed you not posting on the site. I am sorry to hear that you could not get chemo. I know from my friend what a downer that is! However, you don't want to go to the hospital. I hope that the meds work for you this week. My heart is aching for you. Not feeling well is so hard. I hope that will improve for you too.

I take my friend tomorrow for her treatment, and she is thinking that she might not be able to get chemo. She has chemo every third week, and she hasn't felt well since she had the last treatment. The nurse thought that she might have a bug as something was going around. So I guess we will find out tomorrow what the problem is.

Gregory's dog came home tonight. I did not see her, but Jack did. He thought that she seemed fairly good. She still must have an injection daily as the doctor is still trying to rid her body of the tetnus. The tetnus attacks only the muscles--not the brain or organs. She does look different as her head is disfigured because of the muscles contracting. She also still needs lots of rest. They are happy to have her home.

Stay strong Stacy and rest your body. Please know that we continue to pray for good health for you. Love and prayers, Bonnie & Jack

Hi Bonnie, do you know the name of the chemo that your friend gets once every three weeks? You probably told me but remind me what kind of cancer she has?

Fortunately since I didn't get chemo, my appetite has been just fine this week. I went out to dinner at Chili's one night and had an AWESOME steak with steamed onions and mushrooms. It tasted GREAT and I was able to eat the whole thing without any problems!!! That was an accomplishment!

I'm glad Ice came home. How is she doing now?

Did your peppers turn red? Mine did.

Hi Stacy, Yes, my peppers turned red much to my disappointment. I liked them purple. It is good that you did not try them. Jack did, and they are very, very hot. He only had one! I hope that yours have stayed as nice as mine all summer. I have enjoyed watching them grow.

Ice is doing well. She is still having trouble with her hind legs. It makes it hard for her to do the steps. However, we are hoping that the legs will improve with time. Ice is so happy to be home, and she has begun to play again with Hammer. So that is a very good sign. We are all thrilled to have her home!

My friend was diagnosed with lung cancer 4 years ago next month. I will have to find out from her what kind of chemo she takes as I don't remember. She just finished her 6th one. The doctor wants her to take two more than possibly a 9th one. However, the last one and the one that she received last Friday have made her sick. So she is not sure that she will be taking anymore. She is getting headaches, very, very tired and sick to the stomach and not able to eat much. Not a fun time as you well know. Up to this point she has tolerated the chemo well. I don't know if she has talked with the doctor yet about the problem. I just tried to call her before I started this note, but she is not home. I will find out though the chem type and let you know.

It was good to hear that you could enjoy food again. How is this week going for you?

I could not get the helicopter video to run, but I know that it was a great time for you. What a nice thing for your friend to arrange and for WBAL to do!

I will email soon when I get the chemo name. Love and prayers, Bonnie
