Dear Friends,
Everything is going well. Whenever you do chemo, there is always side effects. Even though I am doing chemo one day a week, the side effect is my bones hurting. The pain medicine makes me itch and it is hard to get your rest when you are hurting and itching.

I've had two friends that just found out about my cancer that I used to work with. I do miss working with my friends, but I don't have time to work. Like today, I go to the doctor for a shot for my white blood count. That will take half a day. My chemo day is Thursday. I'm still chasing my potassium and magnesium. I am trying to be faithful in taking all of my medicine when I should.

One exciting thing I did over the weekend was get a wig. I tried on a lot of them before I picked one. My mistake was taking Travis and
Gary with me. But I talked to Gary before we went in and told him to not say I looked good in everything. He has a good eye with color and we finally found one that looked like me.

Please keep me in your prayers and thoughts. I go to MDAnderson on my birthday, November 8-9. I will see if this chemo has helped.

See you later.

Susan
