I am enjoying having hair on my head! It seems like I have sort of two different kinds; normal-feeling and looking hair that is still very short and dark, and a few longer hairs scattered throughout that are fuzzy and gray. I think I'll keep wearing hats. I may lose it again with this new chemo anyway.
I'm feeling good this week. The new blood gave me more energy! I went out for coffee with my friend, Debbie, yesterday. And last night Greg and I went grocery shopping. Two outings in one day!
I sure love reading your comments to my blog. They always encourage me and help me stay positive. I loved your comment, Rachel. Hope you're having a good school year.
Greg and I appreciate your support and prayers. What would we do without such a great family and such wonderful friends? We love you. Love, Julie

Rachel is right. You're always seeing the glass 1/2 full, not empty. That positive attitude is so healing, especially when you're fighting cancer. Cancer treatments sure have changed since I was giving them. The only people we gave blood to were the leukemia patients. Everyone's counts dropped with chemo, they usually just waited until they came back up on their own. It does sound like you are getting the very best medical treatment available for your type of cancer. With that knowledge, your faith, huge support system of family & friends...that cancer doesn't have a chance.
Love & prayers,
Jeanne
Julie,
I want to tell you the first memory that I have of you and your "looks". You were leading a junior high chorus that my daughter, Meegan, was singing in. Meegan is now 31 (sorry, Meeg:-), so we can figure out that this was a few years back. Anyway, I walked into the gym at Lakes, into this bold sound of singing, and just halted in the threshold looking across the floor at you. There you were, no bigger than a peanut, with your arms just pulling the sound out of these kids. Your amazing presence took my breath away, Julie, because I could fill your spirit all the way across that room. And I thought of how lucky I was to have you leading my daughter.
So both of us are a little fuzzy now. What the heck? You are still an amazingly beautiful woman to all of us.
WIth love and appreciation,
Katie Kelso
Julie,
It was so great to see you today, if only from afar. You look fantastic! Your faith and positive attitude are so inspiring.
Love, Heather M.
Heh Julie!! I'm coming! :) I'm so excited to see you again!! I can't wait to see your new hair!! I'll call you tomorrow..Love You, Janice
Good morning Julie. God has been bringing you to my mind lately and I always enjoy reminding Him how much we all want you healed and as hairy as Esau. I had lost your blogspot address until just this moment. Eureka! How fun to see you surrounded by your many blessings. Say hi to Janice. I miss her lots and have such happy memories of stopping at your house on our road trip to Oregon. You served up as much joy and encouragement as bacon and eggs. Enjoy this day as we lift you up in prayer.
