Taking a Break from Chemo but …. have 5 weeks of radiation coming up
Copyright, Mary Rachels
Things are going well, thanks to Dr. DePasquale and sweet Maria and all the staff at Women’s Oncology, Chattanooga.
They are just wonderful.
The chemo has went well except for the second round. I kinda bottomed out, had strep throat, had to have two units of blood, had a kidney infection and, of course, had to be hydrated.
That one was pretty rough.
The third chemo has gone much better. I hope this means it will be easier from here on out.
I will be starting radiation on May 17th and will have to have it 5 days a week for 5 weeks. I pray it goes well. They are only doing radiation on a small area and only for 15 minutes per day. After the radiation treatments are over, I get a break! Hooray!
My son, David, and my daughter, Neva, are taking me to Gulf Shores. I am really looking forward to that. We plan to have crab claws, key lime pie and a lot of rest and healing. I will enjoy seeing my son, Dave, and his family while I am there. It should be a wonderful trip.
I’m grateful to Jerry Watson for letting us use his condo this year and grateful to my daughter-in-law Debbie for letting me borrow my son for a week. It will be wonderful to spend time with David and Dave together.

I was sitting on the porch, talking to my daughter.
I reached up to run my hands through my hair like I’ve done a thousand times and when I brought my hand back down, it was full of hair.
So, my son-in-law said "well, if you don’t want to wait on it to fall out, I’ll go get my clippers and shave your head."
So, he did.
I decided, well, ok. So, it’s gotta happen. So, I’ll just have fun with it.
I went out today and bought me some different colored hats. I had some scarves I could match ‘em with so, I thought, I’ll just see what I can do with it.
I thought I’d better post about this so anybody that hadn’t seen me lately wouldn’t be surprised by my new look.

Thief on the Cross Art
31. March 2010 by admin.
Inspirational Art by Mary Rachels - Thief on the Cross
I believe in God
and I pray often.
I believe in God’s mercy and
in God’s forgiveness.
What better way to show that
than by the Thief on the Cross
The Thief on the Cross art is for sale,
and proceeds go toward my medical bills.
You can see a small picture of the Thief
on the Cross below and if you click that,
it will show you a larger picture.
Order Thief on the Cross prints or tiles from Jesus Tiles
