And the roller coaster goes down.......

I got the results of my latest CAT this morning. The liver mets are growing again and there are some small spots on one lung. I began chemo again. This time I know what to expect and I'll get through it.

My good friend and chemo buddy Jane also got some bad news. We held hands and shared strength with each other. The chemo room is such a special place as we laugh and cry together. Support doesn't get better than that.

Peace to all of you. cmd

The cemo room builds lasting friendships. You have celebrations and tears. The chemo nurses have to be some of the most special people put on earth. Here's hoping you can get though the treatments without too much difficulty.

....but hopefully they can shrink em again. Carol will get the "chemo room" experience next Thursday.

Good luck, cmd, and keep us posted.
