Chemo and on to Chicago

Even though I should be going to closing sessions in Montreal and getting ready for the President's Ball, life doesn't always work out the way one expects. Yesterday's chemo was better than I expected - about 3 1/2 hours total and after the Benedryl worked off, was able to help with the last hour or so of driving to Chicago. Annabelle's 5th birthday party is today - planned after I had to cancel the trip to Montreal. One door closes and another opens.

It is hard to believe it has only been two weeks since the treatments began - seems like forever - and now the first cycle is over. Next week - no treatment - hope the energy level holds out because Thursday is Centerville Noon Optimist's big golf outing to benefit Children's Medical Center, the Childhood Cancer Crusade and other projects for kids in our area.

I feel great - haven't lost much hair yet, but the wig is ready. I brought it and three ball caps to Chicago in case it all comes out and one time!

See you soon and thanks again for the calls and cards. They are very encouraging.
Margaret

MM, and Friends,
I spent a few days in Ohio last week visiting with Margaret May and Roy and seeing for myself how MM's treatment was going. I was reassured by both her medical treatment and the support and encouragement she was getting from her friends. Thank you.
MM, your determination as you fight this disease inspires me as you always have. Love, BJ (MM's sister, Barbara)
