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 so i tried to upload a picture of Super Gizmo to make you smile but I could only get a teensy one. He just wanted to tell you that he misses you and wishes he could see you to cuddle and play with!

Glad to get this update and to know you are looking forward to some good food and times so the mouth is in good shape. And, you want to cook! That’s a great sign.
Love, hugs and kisses to you. I’m thinking about ya.
