I received flowers twice this week. The one on the left is from my sweet niece Abbey. She went to a festival last year with the school and bought something to drink in the blue bottle. She saved it. When she read about my bottle tree blowing over and breaking all my beautiful colored bottles she sent me this one. How sweet is that?! Her mother put some of the jasmine from our old house in it and brought it to me. Abbey is also the precious granddaughter who stands in the prayer line at her other grandmother's church to pray for me.
The beautiful bouquet on the right is from my dear sweet husband. He has been surprising me with lovely flowers off and on since I was diagnosed in February. They all have been beautiful and had special notes attached.
I'm sure Abbey had to pay for the drink in the bottle. The jasmine was free. The flowers Ed sent cost as well. But as the commercial says------------------Flowers---$$$ Delivery---$$$$ Love attached---PRICELESS!!!
UPDATE: Today was my fourth chemo treatment. I was blessed to have three friends sit with me for four hours while I received four drips. Afterwards we went out to lunch and went plant shopping. Talking nonstop and enjoying each others company was the highlight of my day.
GAME PLAN: Treatment will change after CAT and PET scans in three weeks. Depending on what the scans say, we will either do weekly chemo or radiation. This is the result of a new study that has just come out that shows a much higher survival rate (I'm in favor of that!!!). I will be taking the Faslodex shot monthly for the rest of my life instead of the Femora pill for five years. (Same study--same result) The shot is a "kick @#$ shot" that hurts for about three days but I can live with that if it means that I will live longer!! My life is in the hands of two awesome men--God being the first and Dr. Rod being the second. God loves me and Dr. Rod eats the cakes that I take to his office. [He doesn't eat sweets!] That's gotta tell you something!
