Yes, it was a long Loyola visit on Monday. I was there from 10:30am until 8:15pm. I saw the infectious disease Dr. who is in charge of my antibiotics. He said I had a very serious infection. He was pleased with the look of the wound. He said it was clean but deep. It will take a long time to heal. I am nearing the end of taking the antibiotics, however. The hope is that there are no unseen pockets left which could develop into another infection.
Next oncology. Dr. Albain was happy that I would be starting chemo again. She said we are just skipping the dose I missed and it is not a problem. That means only 3 treatments of taxol left!! I had my neulasta shot today and I'm praying that it won't affect my knees as badly as last time. I can handle a little pain but I need to be able to walk!!
That's all for now!

Philippians 3:14 "I press on toward the goal" This just keeps running through my mind when I think and pray for you. "Forgetting the things that are behind, even that part of the race that has been run."
