Good news update....Mom had a better weekend than she's had since she started this new group of chemo. She was able to go for walks, cheer on the badgers & even go out to dinner. On Sunday & Monday she was a little tired, but by Tuesday she said she was back to feeling a good as she usually does. Now she has another week until her next (& LAST) chemo on 10/31. Kris

So far so good. She feels better than she has other Fridays after treatment. She slept good last night. The rash & itching on her face from an allergic reaction from the taxol is almost gone. Just a little itching on eyelids. She says one to go & she can do it!!

Mom had her bloodwork this morning & is scheduled for chemo at Noon. She has her expansion tomorrow. I haven't heard anything today, but I'm assuming all is good. After today only ONE more chemo to go. YES!!!!

They have been at Mayo since Monday night as Dad has a few app'ts between yesterday, today , and tomorrow. All the tests have been good. Kris

I'm upgrading my blog....I've added a picture! It's from our trip to Vegas in Sept.

Jason & I were out of town for a few days for our anniversary, so I'm just getting back up to speed on things. Last Friday Mom started not feeling very well. She had little energy or appetite all weekend. On Tuesday she said she was 80%. Yesterday Kim & Vincent arrived for a visit from Colorado. They all came to Cottage Grove to have dinner with Jason & I. We had a nice time & mom is feeling pretty good, but not 100% yet. They are heading to Colorado after the Packer game on Sunday and then to Rochester on Monday. Dad has some appts Tuesday & Wednesday (I believe) & then they will head up to Minocqua. Mom goes for her next chemo on Wed 10/17. After that one only 1 more to go. :) Let's hope the Badgers & Packers have a better weekend! Kris

My 6th chemo treatment was yesterday. Bloodwork was good. I had an expansion of 50cc (instead of the usual 45cc). One of the side effects of the chemo is shortness of breath, which I've had a bit so they took a chest xray and everything looked good. I didn't sleep very good last night, but am feeling REALLY good today. Duane & I went for a walk & then I went to Curves & the grocery store. I have a Pink Ribbon Classic meeting at 1 & then will play some golf and girls dinner tonight. Keep the prayers coming! Go Badgers & Packers! Kathy

Mom is feeling a little better. They came to BD on Friday for Hank's tree planting & then went to the Badger game on Saturday. Her energy is still pretty low and everything tastes funny so she hasn't had much of an appetite. They are back in Minocqua & will drive to BD tomorrow. Wednesday they head to Mayo for her 6th chemo treatment. After Wed only 2 more chemos to go. Keep the prayers coming! Kris
