Now that Doran is 18, he can come with me to chemo. I took him out of school today so he could do just that. I figured it would be a good experience for him to see what I\u2019ve been doing every week. One of the first questions he asked was, \u201cAre you going to be unconscious at all?\u201d See, all the more reason for him to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately it ended up being one of the longer ones because again they had a problem drawing my blood. Rosanne thinks it might be something anatomical. After trying some tricks, she gave me the same medicine as last week, which worked without needing a second dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both last week and this week the foot massage person came by but both times I was wearing the booties. Representatives from the Pitt women\u2019s basketball team came today; they have a game on Sunday that\u2019s being called Pink the Pete, for Petersen Events Center. They\u2019ll all wear pink armbands to support breast cancer. One of the basketball players gave me a bag of Pitt gear: a pink Pink the Pete t-shirt, Pitt face mask, and a shocking pink Pitt beanie. She offered tickets to the game, but I declined. One guy who might have been a coach watched Doran and I play cards for a bit – who knew we\u2019d have an audience\u203d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three more. That does sound a lot better than four!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
