Shoot... Where do I begin

Well, I' ve been back and forth to MD Anderson in Houston 3 times in 3 weeks. My first chemo therapy  was yesterday. We met with Dr. Frumovitz at 9:00, the Pharmacist right after that, then grabbed a quick lunch ( I've discovered chemo does better on something in the stomach) They started the infusion at 12:30, we were done between 5:30 and 6:00. Tim had too much going on at work and couldn't go with me, so my best friend Lynn and my daughter, Tiffany were with me all day. When we finished, we decided to go ahead and drive back to Texarkana so that we could wake up in our own beds this morning. Tiff headed back to Austin and Lynn and I - 6 hours back to Texarkana. We made it, but we were both operating on fumes today. I don't think the chemo did me much good either.
It all feels very surreal, I know it's happening, but I sure wish it were all a dream. A little bit of good news, I may not lose all my hair, they said it would "thin". If it gets too thin, I'd rather buzz it and not look like a concentration camp refugee! The other bits of good news are that although the cancer will never go into remission, it can at least disappear for awhile, whatever that means. The third piece of decent news, they are going to start me out at a lower dose to see how well I do, since I have been "pretreated" with so much chemo before. The lower dose may allow me to continue to fly albeit on a limited basis. But I can fly!! And lastly I can do the majority of my chemo with an oncologist here in Texarkana. There is only one that I trust, and he is willing to work with Dr. Frumovitz at MD Anderson and treat me here. That will save us time, travel and finances which are mounting,again!
I've really given my bucket list a thorough going over. Some things I've already done, some are doable while others I realize are probably just a pipe dream. I'll line them out for you when I get a better grasp of them. Maybe in the next week or so. A pretty eclectic bag of wishes, even if I do say so myself!
I'm going to close with a couple of pics from yesterday's chemo, one is me trying to at least look a little classy while having lots of toxic fluid pumped into my system, the other is a picture of all the various bags of toxic fluids.  The two chemo drugs are Carboplatin and Gemcitobine (sounds like Jim Beam to me, so I call it my Carbo Bourbon cocktail) Geez, where do they get this stuff!!

I'm hanging in there, God Bless all of you!
