Another grandchild's birthday today! Betsy and Cam's little Julian is celebrating his first birthday today! Wish we could be there with them. But...today was "Chemo Day" and I never would have believed it when I first started this whole process, but I actually enjoy being at the Cancer Center and the treatments aren't that bad. The nurses are so nice and now they all know my name and it feels very comfortable. My nurse today is the same height as me and she insisted that I have one of the "good chairs". She asked one of the regular sized people if they had ever sat in a chair that was too big and uncomfortable and had to stay in it for over 4 hours. Silence. So we short people got our way!
Time is going so fast! I finished my third cycle today. This cycle was only three weeks. So I have next week off from chemo to let my cells try to build up. Then, if everything goes as planned, I'll have one more cycle of chemo. I'm feeling a little anxious about what comes next. But this is yet another example of not having control over anything. So I'll let the Lord take over on that one. When I start to worry, I try to pray instead.
It was great to have Liz here for a brief time this weekend. We had a good visit and had Starbucks together. Mmmm. It tasted good yesterday!
I'm hoping for a good day tomorrow. Thank you for your prayers. Love, Julie

Julie, it was great spending time with you! And I am so amazed how much energy you have! I was praying for you yesterday during your chemo. I hope you didn't get a headache like last week. Love ya, Liz :)
Julie,
It was nice to join you and the family for Hannah's 11th birthday party. Pat and I were so impressed with your vitality, good humor and as usual your gracious demeanor. You may have cancer but it does not have you. Your easy going strength is a testament to your faith. Thank you for sharing that with us, that we might be better, stonger and more Christ centered for your example.
Our love and continued prayers,
Dorene & Pat
Julie..It was so good to talk to you last nite!! I am hoping some how I can get out there soon!! I love you and pray for you constantly!! I am SO glad you got the comfy chair for your chemo treatment!! You deserve it!! Love you, janice
Mom, I'm so glad you had a nice visit with Liz and Emma and that Hannah had a great Birthday party! Wish we could've been there, but we're so looking forward to your having a break from chemo and being here next week!!!
I think it's very funny that you enjoy your treatments (probably just because the people are nice, and you're always thinking positively)!!
We love you very much!
Love, Betsy
