Hi Gretchen! I’m so glad Coleen reached out. I was thinking about you as well. Wow, day -6, your day of rest. Tomorrow is Day 0? Your new Birthday! Such a huge moment and yet it’s all so anticlimactic when it happens. ☺️ There will be some, hm, less than peachy days ahead for a couple of weeks. But they pass quickly enough bringing a second chance for life! I already know you have a very positive attitude and believe me it is the very best friend you can have during this journey. And it is one heck of a journey but definitely well worth it! Stay strong, stay positive...you’ve got this!!! Wishing you all the best going forward! Just focus on getting better but when you can, send us a quickie to let us know how you’re doing. And, always feel free to drop me a personal message if you have any questions or need a pep talk! As someone who has taken the same path, I’m happy to be your guide. Lori.

Hi Lori, Today was day 3 of chemo and day 0 will be on the 21st.....I’ve been sleepy for several hours due to the anti nausea meds. I’m not a napper, so this is new to me. The room service and people here have been great. I’m hopeful those less than peachy days aren’t so bad. As an optimist, who has never been really sick, I might be put in my place this time. However, it’s good to be forewarned and prepared. Thank you for all your encouragement Lori, you are a wonderful coach. I will keep you posted. Gretchen
