TLC

Kathy has her last of the first round of nasty kemo tomorrow. Over the last three treatments the side effects have seemed to be cumulative, getting worse each time. You can imagine what that does to her state of mind. You know it's coming and you know it will probably be worse than the last time. Ugh!! The only two saving graces are 1) that this is the last one of this particular "cocktail" and 2) that if she is feeling crappy, the !@#$%& cancer cells are feeling worse. The good news is that the kemo is definitely shrinking the tumor. That makes it hard to know what to wish for her. The awful side effects seem like proof that the kemo is working, then again, none of us want her to have another week of side effects. What to do, what to do....

TLC is the answer! The kemo has to do its job, so the feeling crappy is probably a given. Doesn't that suck :-( But Kathy doesn't have to feel crappy alone! We're all here to provide some TLC. Family, friends, colleagues, anonymous blog readers, lurkers... Send some online Tender Loving Care! Let's let Kathy know that we are all out here creating positive energy to help with her fight. (Can we blow up the comments section with too many responses? We can try!) This next week will be hard, but she's tough and she has a support group behind her. This blog has had over 200 visits since I put up the counter (and that was after three weeks of blogging). That is a lot of positive energy and a lot of TLC!
