First one down, three more to go!

I had my first chemo treatment this morning. It was rather uneventful! (thank goodness!) I was there a little over four hours, but I met with Dr. Merten first, and there was quite a bit of education involved the first time, so the next appointments probably won't take nearly as long. I really don't expect much in the way of side effects this week, but time will tell! My track record hasn't been that great so far, now has it?!?! :-) We leave for the beach (Stone Harbor NJ) next Thursday, and we're looking forward to that! My next treatment will be the Monday after we return ~ July 7.

It was sooooooooo wonderful seeing all my precious children at school last week on their last day during the award ceremony. It really did my heart good! Mrs. Barnes did an exceptional job, I do believe, of filling in for me the last seven weeks. She had my classroom packed up better than I could have EVER done, and for that I will be eternally grateful! She is awesome!

I'll keep in touch... sj
