Hello dear family and friends,

I may not know much of what to say, tonight, but I do enjoy knowing I’m spending the time with you. As a recap, Clark and I went to NY and had my first infusions with the new drugs. The pattern is that they do 2 days of chemo, one about 4-5 hrs., and the 2nd day maybe 3. I also wore a pump overnight which continued the infusion. We checked back in at the clinic a 3rd day, and then traveled home Fri.

So fast forward, we will fly out Mon., stop by the clinic, and then have the infusion Tues. and Wed. home again on Thurs. this time.It’s a hard trip when belly is bloated and I’m pumped full of drugs. So far the side effects are quite clear, and fuzzy, foggy head is one. We had fluids drained today, but my feet are so swollen I can’t get any shoes on–can’t do flipflops in NY this time of year, so anyhow I feel much better having some shoes- if huge, that I can get on.

Our best news is that we are finally getting some desperately needed rain this weekend and snow in ski areas, so we’re still in drought, but this has to help. Please do keep us in your prayers as we do you.
If they can figure out the chemo pattern, we will be able to continue the program at our own cancer center, so that makes it doable. Have a good Feb. and I will be in touch.

Love
Annie/Noel
