Hello Bloggers, and happy Cinco do Mayo! Notice the purple toilet?? It's from the Hikers for Hope" relay team I'm on. It's our fundraiser. We put it on your front lawn and we ask for a donation to have it removed to where ever you want in Pleasanton. It's really cute! Even the our local paper agrees.

Well, I did have the third treatment and it was like a party! I had visitors the entire time! It sure helped to pass the 4 hour drip. Then I managed to only be sick one day last week instead of the two that I have been. So maybe my body is adjusting or I'm working the drugs better. The new anti nausea med called Amend really helped. I will have one more treatment next Monday and then I'll go in to UCSF for a CT scan to see if the chemo is working. With Gods blessings and all the prayers that I have been getting, it should be working really well. Today I had CBC (complete blood count) and I guess it wasn't as bad as last time because I didn't get a call from my nurse to be extra careful at work, and to wash my hands all the time. I keep taking lots of vitamins and it seems to be working because I haven't gotten a cold or illness since Jan of 07. There is a controversy about taking vitamins during treatment. If vitamins help to strengthen your body and cells, then it could also help to strengthen the cancer cells as well. I feel that keeping my body as strong as possible will help fight the cancers, so I continue to take the vitamins and try to stay as healthy as possible. I still walk at least 3 miles a day after work and a little more on the weekends. The walking will help me when I do the relay for life in July. Please visit my team page at ://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RelayForLifeCaliforniaDivision?px=6076777&pg=personal&fr_id=9814 Did you know that at this point 66% of all cancer patients survive? With continued support and research that number will one day be 100%. Please help in the effort to flush away cancer.

Emotionally I am doing fine! I know that God is walking this path with me and He has continued to give me, and my family, His peace and love through this journey. He even sits with me during Chemo drip!

Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

God bless you all and thank you again for all your love and support to our family.
