Hi everyone,
I haven't written anything lately, but have seen a lot of people what with the big Centerville Noon golf event last week and other events. The golf event was phenomenol. Judy DeMarco pulled it off with great class as always, but she even arranged for the greatest weather you can imagine!
Last week was also my week off from chemo, but true to predictions, the day of the golf outing was the 21st day after chemo and on schedule, all of my hair started to fall out in clumps. Today it is pretty well gone. Two wigs and lots of ball caps will help. Yesterday was the first day of the second cycle of chemo. Since Medicare will not pay for the Abraxane that the doctor wanted to and has been using, we had to switch to placlitaxol which is an effective drug, but takes longer to administer so yesterday's treatment was 5 1/2 hours - a long time.
Today I felt good - played golf and got a first - par on #14 and birdie on #15 at Sugar Valley. That helped the score a lot since some of the other holes were not too good.
I continue to appreciate all of the good wishes you send. You are an amazing group of friends - love you all.
Margaret

Margaret,
Bob and I will be thinking of you tomorrow as you continue your chemo treatments. Hope it won't last as long as last week! :( We hope to see you on Tuesday for our weekly "feel good optimistically" luncheon.
Love,
