Chemo and stuff...
Hello, everyone... greetings from snowy Washington! (OK, so it was snowy last night... close enough!)
I'll be you're wondering how Serry's treatment has been going this week! Well... she started chemo on Monday night after getting all tucked in up at the hospital. They did chemo (I think I have my days right) through Wednesday. She's had days full of walks up and down the hospital hall, reading magazines, checking Facebook, chatting with family and nurses, watching Animal Planet (at least, that's what I heard was happening today!), and I'm sure more. Today was a rest day--no treatment or anything. Tomorrow she'll get some of her stem cells back and then be released to go home. About 24 hours later, she has to head back up to the hospital for a special shot... I'm not exactly sure what it does, but I think it's to motivate those little guys to do their special magic.
Monday she'll go up again for a check up, then Thursday she'll head up for a little more chemo. I'm not sure what happens after that... each "round" will take approximately a month to complete. I'm pretty excited, though, that the big guns have already fired for round one!! I am just imagining the chemo from this week running through her body screaming, "COME ON, CANCER CELLS! I DARE YOU TO SHOW YOUR PUNY LITTLE FACES!!!" I don't know what you all imagine when you think of chemo, but MY chemo drugs sure are fierce. :)

So, what kind of diet are you on girl? I wanna know what I can and can't decide on bringing over for you for your birthday, and I need a bit of leadtime *grins* I'm guessing Guiness and other assorted green beers are out...
Hi Serry,
Just because it's been so long since I posted doesn't mean I've forgotten you. No way! I keep up on the news, and am so impressed with your progress. I hope you enjoyed Lori's jokes - I did! I was going to send you a link to a cool video about a collapsing glacier in Argentina, but I can't figure out how to find the address to paste in. See, I still need you! So hurry on back to us as soon as you can. Take care.
