to be or not...

Thank you Shari



.......Wednesday was a two-fold adventure..

The good news from my Doc is that I am in the top 10% of those who presented with this disease at the same time I did...

50% of those souls have already left this world....

"you are doing really well!" (from my Doc)..

..Gail will be continuing Folfirinox past #12....

Just did #13 on Wednesday... nine hours of fluids pumping into my body..little soldiers of chemo marching on to do battle with the nefarious tumor-villains in my liver...

......fight on little guys, fight on....

I mentioned that the side effects are pretty rude, and they are....

The neuropathy in my hands and feet grows more intense with each treatment...

It is no longer a temporary thing.....

"will I be alive next year?"..(from me to my Doc)

answer: "most assuredly.."

........."how long do I stay in chemo?"

"for as long as your body can tolerate it...."

..(previous answer to this question: "for the rest of your life!"....)

color me grateful for life and love and friends who care enough to read this and generate mountains of positive energy and...... most important of all.......hope..

thank you dear friends.....
