Hi All!

I thought I'd get my weekly news out early this week! I had my 14th treatment, but who's counting? I am, and that means just one more to go in this first round. I have still been quite tired and today my red blood count was on the edge. They asked about fatigue and dizziness and it was decided that I would get a blood transfusion on Saturday. They said that I should feel much better afterward. This comes at a great time since we start meetings and school next week. I am hopeful that this will turn things around for me!

Thanks for checking in!

  1. One more to go...Thursdays have become marker days and I'm ticking them off with you. Hard to believe that school is starting again but I hope that the summer break gave you time to store up some rest. The routine will feel good again. Kids always seem to take our minds off what is ailing us and being busy and productive is a blessing. Looking forward to the post next week! XXOO, Sue

  4. Hi Karen, thought I'd try this blog again. It just seems easier for me to just email you. I think of you always, and you and your family are continually in my prayers. Next week will be a busy one for you. Today is Monday, and I assume you are at school already getting ready for school this week. One day at a time. Keep up the positive attitude. Sending our love to you all. Bob & Linda

  5. Just saw you briefly yesterday, Karen, but didn't get to talk to you and welcome you back! Heard you met with Marcia Hull last week (she looked great & is a good role model!!). Wishing the best for you at the start of the school year.
    Hugs-
