coworker

Learned today that my coworker with cancer was starting chemo again today. It's a different kind from what she did before, but I don't know what she's getting. She goes every day (I guess just weekdays, don't know how that works, I was just told that she goes everyday) for treatments. Her daughter said that she can bet her mom would only do just a few of the treatments because the last couple of the first ones she did made her so sick. So I just pray that things go good for her so that she can continue these treatments. Like I've said before, I just feel guilty that mine was caught so early and that I feel so good. Please keep Mary in your prayers.

Definitely on the prayers.

By the way, I'd not say "definitely" on the bad reaction to the treatment - maybe as a daily regimen it is lower dose and thus less toxic (except to the cancer!) Let's hope so.
