A Fighter---Gwyn is going to the Cancer Treatment Centers Of America in Chicago on August 2nd for more treatments on her bone cancer. They will be putting her through several tests and then her and Robbin will be able to select an option for further treatment. She wants to keep all of her supporters informed so her nephew Jason has created this blog for her. I'm a person with lots of HOPE and want to share it with you! Thanks, Jason!!

Day 2 of Radiation
Today went much better. I was only in my mask for 30 minutes and it will get better from now on.....20 minute sessions. The picture I added today is the actual mask that they put on me. I'm thinking it will be my best friend here. Any ideas of what to name it?? The weather is so cold here again today that they advised people to stay in. Wind chill factor was -12!!!! My doctor is starting me on Xeloda tonight. I'm a little nervous because it could make me sick. I really don't have time to be sick. My box from home came today and it is my sewing projects. I found a table in the office that I talked them out of. After my machine gets warm I'll be able to sew. I'm missing my home already so I really need to focus on the reason I'm here. I so appreciate all the comments that you have sent. Keep it up! Our first home cooked meal is a hamburger. Robbin is my cook so I don't have anything to worry about there. Take care and look for more later. Love ya all!!
