Time flies and other things...

Wow! So in just a few hours, we will attend a Pinning Ceremony for our daughter Rachel. She will receive the Radiology Technician pin! This is so exciting, she has worked so incredibly hard for 3 years to achieve this!! Rachel will graduate Harcum College as a Rad Tech on Saturday and I am so thankful to be here for this!! It amazes me how fast time flies by! I swear to G-d she was just a tiny preemie a few years ago!! I could have sworn I just graduated from there, but my friends have reminded me that happened 28 years ago! (EEK) I will post pics soon!

In Cancer world, I have been given the name of my new chemo drug.... Gemzar. It will be given along with my carboplatinum. Hmmm..... "Gem", "Platinum".....maybe I deserve some jewelry after all this crap! LOL. On a serious note, I hope to hell I don't have an allergic reaction to this one. The side effects sounds lovely...Nausea/Vomiting, Fever, Flu symptoms, Rash, Low Platelets...Hair loss w/in 7 to 10 days...gee can't wait! Ok, the hair loss is no biggie....just gonna have to learn to sunscreen my bald head! I will still have to get the Neulasta shot...hate that freaking thing! On a positive note, nobody wanted to stick me with needles yesterday and I gained a 1/2 lb! YAY!!

It's a beautiful day and it will be even more beautiful tonight as we pin our daughter!
So I end this on a happy note......
=)
Love
Bec
