Wonderful news Joyce... your mental attitude throughout this ordeal has been inspirational

Joyce · « **Reply #21 on:** August 25, 2006, 05:33:39 PM »

Thanks everyone!

Once I am done with 30 radiation treatments,
which start 2nd week of Sept and end 3 week of Oct,
you bet I'll be ready for a celebration!

And I can't WAIT for my hair to grow back...cuz it's COLD here tonight!

maryvonne · « **Reply #22 on:** August 25, 2006, 05:48:02 PM »

Great news Joyce. Hope the radiation isn't too difficult and you can get on with the celebration.

CliffandJoann · « **Reply #23 on:** August 26, 2006, 04:04:24 AM »

That's wonderful news Joyce. I hope you breeze through the radiation treatments.
Joann

Joyce · « **Reply #24 on:** August 26, 2006, 05:08:30 AM »

Thanks Maryvonne and Joann.

Joann, isn't it chilly and raw?

At least the wind died down over night.
Had my winter velour PJs over a teeshirt last night, and it still wasn't enough.
So the down comforter came out.
And the regular comforter too, since Bill stold the entire down comforter,
rolled up in it like a cocoon.

Yup, I think Radiation will be a breeze compared to chemo.
And the Radiation Office is next to TJ Maxx.

RETAIL THERAPY TOO!

Teresa · « **Reply #25 on:** August 26, 2006, 08:04:57 AM »

So how are you feeling today?

Joyce · « **Reply #26 on:** August 26, 2006, 08:27:37 AM »

Feeling good but going by past chemos...I should start feeling the effects by tonight.
Already getting the cotton mouth that is the first sign.

But brain is not chemo'ed yet.

Actually, I am at work now.
Kit Knotts asked me for some high res pix for the press releases that are going out.
I store a lot of pix here at work, and on one of the memory cards for my D200.
Need to take a new head shot cuz the Mets pic is too low res.

So here I am going through all the crap that fell on my desk while I was gone.

Lots of it is good stuff, clients calling me back with approval on landscape plans I did for them.

A few want additional work...it's that time of year!

The rest is wholesale catalogs, current availability lists, inventory, etc.

And a quarterly software upgrade for my LandCadd Program.

You know I answered this yesterday, and instead of hitting send I must have hit the back arrow.
duh! Good luck with the radiation therapy Joyce, and do top it off with TJMax therapy!
It's raining all day, off and on and dark and chilly too...fall is coming too soon to Long Island
