Carolyn handled the first two chemotherapy infusions with such strength and vigor that both of us got a little too optimistic about the whole regimen, the fact that the Carolyn getting the third infusion isn't the same woman who got the first one. Not only does she look considerably different but her body has already been twice treated to strong toxins introduced directly her bloodstream. It's sort of like fighting off two bullies just to then see two of their larger friends heading toward you. There's only so much a person can take. Fortunately, there is more that Carolyn can do (or NOT do) to regain her strength like she needs to. She can get (and now is getting) more rest and sleep.
We both appreciate the thoughtful letters, cards, e-mails, and phone calls that come our way and let us know that your thoughts and prayers are with us.
