seeing other people's reactions when I tell them I have cancer.


I had spots that looked like bruises on my skin and my left sinus was completely clogged. I had none of the traditional symptoms of leukemia.


I have 6 months of chemo:
1. Daunorubicin, Vincristine, Asparaginase, Prednisone
2. Cytarabine, Etoposide
3. Methotrexate
months 4, 5, and 6 are a repeat of months 1, 2, and 3. I also had 6 doses of intrathecal methotrexate (chemo injected into my spine).

Ok, Jo—I seriously can take no credit for the lobsters except for the fact that I put them on a pasta plate. I think we established earlier (in this blog) that I was mildly afraid for my life during the cooking of said lobsters ;-) They were pretty delicious, though…
