[Mary Jo]

Dear Marie,

I'm sorry you and Ed have to go through this. I truly am. I'm sorry for any and all who have to experience the roller coaster ride of cancer. It is so draining. Physically and emotionally. BUT, it CANNOT take your spirit or your resolve to plunge a head. And plunge a head you are.

I did 4 dose dense cycles of A/C (every 2 weeks). I took Zofran as my anti nausea med and it worked well for me. I handled A/C well or I should say as well as can be expected. It was the hardest of my chemo regimens but I did handle it. I worked and functioned at ALMOST my normal level throughout the 4 cycles. I remember that cold slaw and mashed potatoes from KFC is all I could eat though at the beginning but at least I could eat something that tasted alright and I never got sick.

Praying for God's arms to hold you both close. Praying that He would send Peace to you both.

Love to you Marie and Ed.

Mary Jo
