Hi Everybody,

Just a quick update...just had chemo #4 yesterday...that is the last round of adrimyacin and cytoxin!  In 3 weeks I start my 12 round of tamoxofin.  I'll start the 52 weeks of herceptin then, too.  So, the way I see it, I am halfway through the chemo...major milestone!!!  In 15 weeks, my hair will start to grow back.  In 15 weeks, I'll start getting some energy back.  In 15 weeks, I won't be so nauseated.  In 15 weeks, in 15 weeks, in 15 weeks!!!!!!  By next Christmas, I'll be looking at reconstructive surgery and deciding what to do about that...remember that old saying "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth"?  Well, I might be saying "All I want for Christmas is two bigger boobs!"  (Remember, I was a barely A cup!).

It's Christmas and that always is a wonderful time of year for me...so I am in a great mood!  Not to say that I don't have my downtimes...but not today!!  That is how I get through things most of the time...day by day...and today is a very good day...halfway through and looking forward to that day 15 weeks from now that I can write and say "I'm done with chemo!"

Take care!
