All is calm...


My 3rd FEC75 infusion is done! Thank you Lord. And I feel okay...thank you again, Lord. Before I post pictures I want to wish each of you the warmest Holiday wishes. I hope it is calm and bright wherever you are. I hope each of you is wrapped in a warm blanket of love...that you are healthy, happy, peaceful and have lots of joy in your lives. Thank you so very much for all the love and support you have given me. As always, words just don't do it. Please know that each of you have touched and humbled me. Thank you.

Monday started early with my dear friends Christiane and Amy caring for the children...all day! Thank you friends! Molly and I got to Baylor, had my blood work done and then went up to the Oncologist's office for my exam before the chemo. We had been waiting for a while and I had to go make a pit stop. When I was coming back down the hall to my exam room, here is what greeted me! Carrie the Festive Christmas Carol. She was gorgeous and lit up the whole place!!! It was awesome!!



The rest of the pictures just show the process. I am not sure why I post all these, except that I was so curious before I started all this and maybe you are too. Maybe I can demystifying the procedure. Also I want a place to show my children to make it less scary for them. I hope seeing these pictures do not bring back sad memories for some of you.

The only bummer of the day was that I forgot the Lidocane to numb the port area. So it hurt when the nurse accessed it and when the drugs were going in. As the nurse said, I probably won't forget again. But it was fine.
