Chemo 0 Jeanne 4

"Everyone, I mean everyone, is exhausted come the fourth quarter. The winners, and true champions, are the ones who tap into their deepest reserves, rise above their personal pain, and do what needs to be done to win."

- William J. MacDonald, Esteemed Coach of the Seal Beach Sea Lions

Here it is...the last quote from my friend and colleague to begin this fourth and final quarter.

Team Jeanne truly was a team on Tuesday as I had two chemo partners...Matt and Mary. Oncology Nurse with No Manners (ONWNM) was absent at the onset of treatment and both team members were ushered to the bench with no reservations or rudeness. Team Jeanne had the game plan down pat and chemo didn't stand a chance. The IV went in smoothly and the drugs were administered even more quickly because "you can handle it", so said Nice Oncology Nurse...

Had a fever on Wednesday (101) but got my injections, got past it, had my dentist appointment, got my final injection yesterday...Team Jeanne is closing in! It is a grand feeling...

Thought you all should see how bald looks at 304 College Park Drive...hopefully we can all grow our hair together. I will be coloring mine soon, I believe. Marli, my hairstylist said it needs to be about one inch long...I hope I don't get a speeding ticket driving to the hair salon...

Hoping for a Latisse prescription on Tuesday for my disappearing eyelashes...Brooke Shields, look out!

Wow, eight comments on my blog this week...Thank you all for your kind, compassionate and uplifting words. I read and re-read them and they give me so much strength and encouragement.

Today is a good day and God is Good All the Time!!

I will keep you all posted as we find out next steps and schedules for radiation therapy and post-chemo healing.

Love and thanks to you all, from the bottom of my heart!

Love,
Jeanne
