Okay -- but really, what else rhymes with five? Dive. Hive. Jive. Live. None of them really seemed to fit. I realize that 'alive' makes you think Sheri is not at all tired from her chemo this morning. And, the truth is, she really is tired (as with the other sessions.) But, cut me some slack. I'm working on my poetry skills!
Off my poetry, on to Sheri's 4-1-1.
Jude went with Sheri this morning for her treatment. They had to be there at 845am. Ugh! (NOTE: Sheri is NOT a morning person.) What? How would I know? Trust me...I know! =) This treatment and the previous ones were 'accidentally' scheduled for early morning. Sheri took care of that as quickly as possible, and the next treatment should be back to a comfortable 10ish time. Whew.
This past Friday Sheri was feeling a little sick. Ah oh! So, she stayed home from work to rest -- and pray -- that her blood counts would stay high and would not stop her from getting this treatment. The good news: Her counts weren't low at all and the treatment went well.
Update from the doctor: After 8 treatments Sheri will have another PET Scan to see if the cancer is gone. If it is, she will have 4 more treatments and then be DONE! That is great news!! If not though...if the scan shows that there is still 'activity'...she will have to have 4 more treatments, then another PET Scan, and then...4 more treatments. Ugh! That would make 16 treatments as opposed to 12. So -- everyone -- think 12!
The doc prescribed a new med for the back aches. We'll have to see if they work. Hopefully so!!

You're getting there! The countdown is on until you're finished with chemo! I will get the book to you soon. I'll call you to see if you're at work or home.
Sheri, we're thinking about you and praying for you always. Hang in there.
12, 12, 12, 12...I'm thinking 12 and will be praying for 12!
