Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to let you all know that mom is doing great! We took her in yesterday for her treatments and she was a rock star! The chemo went fine and she has yet to have any real nausea from it. I took her back to the office today to get some fluids, per their request, and again she did great. The only thing that was tough was that they couldn't find a vein yesterday...they poked her like 5 times! The nurse felt real bad but I thought my dad might rip her head off. Mom was tough and we decided to leave the IV in for the hydration today...we also decided to go back tomorrow for more. I guess with the Cisplatin they say hydration is key so I made an executive decision to go back again tomorrow... So after she was done there today she wanted to have lunch...yeah can you believe it!! We went to a little deli where she got some chicken and rice soup and a half of a sandwich...she also wanted me to go to the mall to get a Cinnabon and some Mrs. Field's cookies...yeah I know!!! Did this woman just have major chemo yesterday??? She is very tired and falls asleep a lot...but that seems to be the extent of it. I think we are keeping the nausea under control with the anti-nausea drugs...she's also taking Ativan which makes her a little loopy...it's pretty cute! She is really easy to take care of and very happy...so now she is resting/sleeping on the couch with her cookie...doing and looking great...amazing what a little hydration does for the skin...I asked the nurses if they could hook me up too so I didn't have to drink all these fluids..but no luck :) I am trying to update this daily and you can send her messages this way too...but the phone is ok too! So..so far so good...hope everyone is well...we send you all our best! Love, Sara

Hi Family: So happy that Linda (Mom) came through her first chemo treatment with flying colors!!! Having family around her to support her is wonderful!
I hope all of you can feel the love from all of us down here in So Cal! Today it was so hot here---100 degrees. It's those darn Santa Ana winds again.
Hey, I have a new little puggle puppy! I rescued him from an elderly lady who couldn't care for him. He's 9 weeks old and cute as can be. I'll send a picture soon!
Take care and keep us posted! Love, Cousin Judy
Great news about Linda's response to 1st chemo treatment. Maybe it's because they call it "cocktail"! I bet Marge is ready to tap dance at the news! Hugs to all of you; extra big ones to Barry and Linda. You are doing such a wonderful jog Sara and pregnant too! We will keep all of you in our prayers and in the light of the greater universe!
Love, Ellen (Frankie)
