Okay, this is it.  Tomorrow I will start my chemotherapy.   We meet with Dr. Albain at 2:30 and then I will receive an intravenous dose of Adriamycin.  It will be followed by cytoxan which will be either in the IV or in a pill form depending on which arm of the clinical trial I am assigned to.

I will also find out how often I will get the chemo. ( and follow up shots for keeping my white blood count in check)  It's all a bit scarey, but it is definitely time to start to rid my body of that ugly cancer. (which still seems unreal because I feel so good!)

I know that I am in God's hands and I have the prayers and support of all my wonderful friends and family.  Thanks for that great gift!

I am taking Friday off just for the first treatment to see how I do. (which will be great!!!)  As my Aunt reminds me, I am of tough German and Bohemian stock!!

I hope you all have time to enjoy this Memorial Day weekend.  Emily and Dan will be home on Friday evening to hang out with mom and dad.  I'll love that.

Take Care,

Karen
