Hi Laura, I am not too far from you-I live in Mt Juliet. Are you scheduled for surgery yet? I am scheduled for the 30th, can't believe it is almost here finally. It is nice to find someone that lives near me. I think it is great that you have support going for you. Your daughter is too cute. I have two wonderful boys and I really need to try and get some pictures on here. Still working on that. I bought the wrong piece for my dig cam. Anyways, e-mail me sometime if you want to talk more. (((hugs))) Julie

Tori is our youngest she will be 4 in June the other 4 are a little older 14,16,19. and 23 hows that for spreading them out LOL. I would love to talk sometime . Laura

Hi Laura, what did you think of the seminar. Did it answer most of your questions? I saw my oncologist and eye Dr.'s today. The oncologist is going to start having them check my iron when I have my blood work done each week, as I get tired out to easily. Plus if my potassium or magnesium is low, I am to be hooked up and given IV medication to keep my electrolites in normal range. My eye dr. says my eyes have changed drastically since having to go on chemo. I have a cateract in the right eye, and a stigmatisium in the left. I need glasses for far sided now plus for close up reading. I am going to see about going with contact lens for the far sided, and just wear reading glasses when needed. I am going to check with the Lions Club to see if they can help me with the glasses, there's no way I can afford them. Oh well, as long as I am on this chemo, my eyes won't settle down. I'm off for a nap. Love ya, Kathy

Kathy the meeting last night was a life coaching session that Centennial has set up as part of their aftercare program. It was very intresting While I was not inpressed with the clinicion who did my pych eval I really like Dr Frye who does these sessions , Laura
