December 13, 2007

Sorry it's taken so long to post, but we're wiped by the end of the day. These last few weeks are definitely difficult (although Jamey had a couple of weeks off and they were wonderful). Yesterday he had a long chemo. We were in the clinic all day, and he got a fever at the end of the day. We were lucky because his blood counts were high, so they let him come home after giving him a very strong antibiotic. He was feeling better this morning, but dragging again this afternoon. I think part of it is that he is very nauseous, and that definitely takes its toll on him. I hope he feels better tomorrow.

It's been a terrible week for us on another front, as well. Another person who is close to us was diagnosed with cancer (this makes two people in the past month). What is going on?????

We have something wonderful to look forward to, though. The day for Jamey to begin the maintenance phase is on our calendar for mid-January (yeah!). This is a big deal because we hear it is much easier. We have also decided to go visit the Varons in Spain in March for a much-needed vacation. We've been looking up tickets (but are too nervous to buy them until Jamey is definitely declared to be in maintenance), and are VERY EXCITED about these prospects.

Happy Hannukah.
