Four Days to go!
Hello to all,
Four days to go on whole brain radiation, but who's counting? You can bet that I am.
It really hasn't been so bad - just tiredness, bad taste and I think my hair is beginning to come out today. The good news is that the side effects seem to let up on the weekends when I don't have treatments. The other good side is the wonderful ladies at Kettering who treat me. They are all friendly and very efficient - make going there as pleasant as possible.
Thursday morning is the last radiation scheduled and in the afternoon, I plan to see Dr. Calvo and have a chemo treatment. Thursday night will probably not be my finest hour.
Not to let it get us down, Roy and I have scheduled a ski trip to Boyne, MI, leaving right after Presidents Club on Monday, March 3, skiing three days and heading to Chicago on Friday to celebrate Jim's 35th birthday and have fun with Annabelle.
I hope all of you are managing the weather challenges well. Someone said it will be spring in less than a month.
Be safe and warm and thanks, again, for your continuing good wishes and prayers.
Margaret

Margaret,
Keep those optimistic spirits as you enjoy the slopes. Spring is only three weeks away, so you'd better get your skiing done pronto!! : ) Hope you are getting through Thursday night better than you thought. Take care and enjoy your visit with your son and granddaughter.
Many hugs,
Carol Burkman
