CHEMO

I visited with Dr. Honeycutt this afternoon and the biopsy indicated the same form of sarcoma in lymph nodes around my spine. I will begin chemo Wednesday at 8:15 until 1;30. It is only one day a week and then I have three weeks off. The drug they will be trying this time is Taxol. I will still wear an anti-nausea pump for three days to see if we can get my vomiting under control. I am exhausted, weepy and angry that this has happened so quickly. PRAY for this drup to work and it might buy me a couple years.

    I'm so sorry that the cure we were all praying for was not to be. May there be a miracle with this new drug.

    I'm guessing you are set as far as hats go, but just let me know if there is a color that you need....

    Love and prayers sent your way.
    Carol and Rich

    Dear Colette,
    We will keep on praying. I know this is a very jarring turn of events. I pray it will not be such a harsh therapy this time and that the drug will work well.
    Love, Linda V.

    Dear Colete,
    You KNOW we are all with you -- praying for you, thinking about you, hoping for the best of all possible outcomes. I think about you all the time and am always asking Pastor Julia about you.
    I hope tomorrow goes well and that the pump will help with nausea.
    Love, Anne
