Three Issues:

1. Glenda's first chemo yesterday went well (other than taking much longer that we thought it would). She is recovering well today, except for tiredness and lethargy associated with the migraine headache medication Imitrex. She has a history of migraines, and the chemo seems to intensify them. SO FAR, NO NAUSEA THANK GOODNESS.

We are off shortly for her to get a shot to boost her white blood cell count.

1 treatment down, 5 to go.

2. Many viewers of the blog are (like me), new to the process. As a result, many are telling us through phone calls, and direct emails, that they would love to make a COMMENT to any/all of the POSTS, but don't know how.

Don't feel bad, it can APPEAR to be difficult at first.

Please don't let this keep you from making COMMENTS though. You do not have to join Google to make a comment.

Below, I've listed a step by step review of how to make a comment. Once you try it, it should become more clear, and Glenda greatly enjoys reading the comments.

To leave a comment find the post to which you wish to comment, and:



  • To the right of the post itself, listed underneath the words "Blog History of Entries" you'll see the opening words of all of the posts - most recent on top.
  • click on the text that you'd like to comment on
  • A new screen opens containing all comments made by anyone PRIOR to you
  • AT THE BOTTOM of all , there will be a text box
  • Make your comments in the text box
  • Select a profile/identity by clicking on the drop down box
  • you can select Anonymous if you don't wish to be identified
    or you can select the name/URL choice where you can put in any name/nickname of your choice. YOU CAN JUST USE A NAME. A URL IS NOT REQUIRED.
  • you can make comments on, OR monitor the comments on each POST individually

Try making a comment using these directions, and see if it works for you. If it doesn't, or you'd rather not mess with it - not a problem. You can continue to read the Blog, and then just email Glenda or I directly with anything you'd like to share.

3. Sorry to all, but all the comments made to the previous post were inadvertantly deleted. If you'd like, and have the time, free to make your comments again.

Thanks for you patience & Thanks again for all the support.

Mike

    First comment of the day ... glad to hear chemo went well yesterday. Are migraines something previously experienced or is it chemo-induced? Bettcha another "shot" will do the trick, too :-) Stay positive.
    Hugs from the Cuz ...

    Beautiful Glenda,
    I'm sending you positive energy and saying lots of prayers for you. Every time I see a hummingbird outside my window at the feeder, I'll send up another prayer. If you see any, think of me here praying for you. All will be well.
    Love,
    Cathy

    Glenda - talking to you yesterday reminded me once again what a bundle of energy you are! There's not a doubt in my mind that you're going to show 'cancer' it's no match for you!
    Looking forward to tea and hats!
    Love,
    Cindy

    Hey Glenda and Mike,
    So thrilled to hear yesterday went well. Thanks so much for the update and I apologize for being so lazy in staying in the loop. You both are in my thoughts and prayers constantly and hope to connect with you soon.
    As they say in the cockpit - stay focused - at least I hope they say that! Lots of love from us on the other side of the foothills.

    Glenda,

    Bette and I think about you often and are behind you all the way. I'm glad the first day wasn't any more uncomfortable than it was. We know you're going to beat this thing. Anything we can do . ANYTHING.. please let us know. Our hearts are with you.

    I'm betting your kitties are happy to have you home recouperating for a couple of days Glenda.Not surprised to hear you're being brave, logical and spunky. That's your MO.Let's get together soon for a "girl" lunch or dinner and talk about our spouses behind their backs. Always a restorative activity.
    :-) Love you Mike! Laura M (in case you have more than one Laura)

    Way to go, Glenda! Glad you are past treatment #1 and it's so far so good. I'm trying to get a schedule worked out so we can come for Tessa's wedding in a few weeks so I can give you a big hug in person! Love, Sarah
