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 3 of Radiation
All is still going well. My radiation today was so much easier. It took about 30 minutes today because of more xrays. Tomorrow and after I should be in and out within 20 minutes. After my treatment I saw the doctor and he was happy about how things are going so far. Last night was my first dose of chemotherapy and I have not had any reaction to it. Tonight was my third dose and I really thought there should be some symptoms or something. I'm really hoping and praying that this will be the normal reaction for me. NOTHING!!! Robbin and I have been to the grocery store everyday. It's pretty funny that we need so many little things, salt, pepper, flour, sugar, coffee creamer, etc. I do believe we don't have to go tomorrow. Meals have been just like home, well kind of. We just don't have as big a kitchen and cupboards aren't stocked like home. Robbin is still a good cook and is making sure I have some good meals. I'm not sure I want him to go home. That means I would have to do all the cooking, laundry and driving. Really, he has been so very helpful and I will miss him. He is planning on coming back the last week I am here. That will be nice. This afternoon I was able to start binding on a project that is the most beautiful quilt I've made. I'll be hand sewing on it probably until I go home. Hopefully it will be done by then. Good night all and hope your day tomorrow is good. I know mine will be. God is good!!
