Well, it's finally official. We begin treatment on Wednesday, August 27, 2014 at 9:45 am. According to the schedule, I will be receiving four different drugs that will keep me in the chair for 4.5 hours. All my chemo will be done at Wilshire Oncology in West Covina and thankfully I will have my wonderful husband next to me for the entire time. He plans on bringing Friends DVDs so we can laugh our way through all of this.

I met with the nurses today that I will be working with. They seem extremely nice and caring except for the front desk nurse. It's bad enough I have to go through all of this. The least I can get is a little compassion and a smile. How about a HELLO?

 Dear Front Desk Nurse....I believe you have not found your calling. I am sorry that my cancer is inconveniencing you in some way and you have to stop what you are doing to hand me a clip board to sign in. Please go back to your solitaire. You are rude.  Sincerely, Me

I feel great today. A little tired but that's mainly because I didn't sleep well last night. I have a million things running through my head. I'm not worried about the treatment or what's to come but mainly how everything else is going to get taken care of. I don't want to be a burden on anyone. Maybe I need to learn to lean on others.

Keeping the faith and remembering that I am truly blessed. Love you all.
