Well, I left a message with my nurse at the Cancer Clinic to phone me, but she didn't return my call today. I expect to hear from her tomorrow.
I still am coughing abit, and not sure if it's a cold or what. I have this phlegm plug at the back of my throat that makes me want to cough it up and then I'm okay for a couple of hours. I struggled with this during radiation also. My remedy is hot water with honey and lemon. If I cough alot during the night, James gets up and makes it for me (I'm pretty groggy because of my sleeping pill). James has been so awesome and is turning into quite a nurse under my supervision. He will even set up my tube feed for me if I'm too tired. I am very happy to be sleeping so much better at night. Even when I wake up coughing (4 or 5 times) I can go right back to sleep. My energy is low in the mornings and better by the afternoon. I still can't walk very fast and feel best when at rest.
My hair is coming out in handfuls. My hands looked like a gorilla today in the shower. I see Shirley Edwards on Thursday for a possible haircut to even things out. I have alot of hair and it is everywhere, in my food, on the pillow, even on the keyboard as I'm typing now. I'll be like Charlie Brown before you know it, I just gotta find that funky sweater he has.
Time for a hot drink and bedtime soon. I used to dread bedtime, as the nights were long and my mind wouldn't turn off. I was very frustrated to the point of tears. It's such a relief to be able to relax enough to fall into a deep sleep. Sweet dreams everyone!

Hi Roxy.
I read your blog today, Lori fowarded it to me. So glad to hear your taking on this next beast with your most "impatience" ever! Don't ever quit the self-talk girl, I do believe it's half the battle! ....with prayer. I'll say a few for ya. I hung onto something that I took in a course about 5 yrs ago, not sure why I did keep it, maybe it was for this occasion alone! If you are up to it, log onto www.thepacificinstitute.com and read "Diane Tice Wellness Audio program" and I'll mail you the exerpt that I have about a wonderfully strong-willed woman that beat the shit out this thing in 1985! No, I have not turned pyramid scheme, mulit-marketing...it was just part of a great course on the powerful part of yourself that can bring about positive and powerful change. I subscribe to Lou's Free Winners circle daily emails...right below Diane's audio program you can subsribe or read previous blurbs.
Well, I am sure you have lots of these to read, I just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you and from knowing you in the past, I know you have it in you to get past this!
Take Care...Shawn Marshak from the crazy houseboat and girls lake trips!
Hey Roxy, I just got this address. It'll be nice to be in touch and read these updates, a very practical use of the blog system... could be a first really, you could make millions!
Angie and I are thinking of you lots and you are in our prayers. We're here to help out if you ever need.
Keep going strong, see you in the blogs.
you don't have to turn on that red light.
Hey Girl. Miss you. I know it's been like a lifetime since I've seen you last.
I have several natural products in my business which might be able to help. I'd love to send them up to you. Based on this last message, can I send you some Aloe Vera Juice? It's very good for healing your digestive track.
We are praying for you every day. I know that you're going to pull through this and your attitude is what it's all about.
Love you and God Bless,
Greg Bieker and Family
