Thanks for all your prayers, guys . . I knew I could count on you all to do this.
Ginny, I'm so glad you posted that about your husband . . I didn't realize he'd gone thru that. Was that for multiple myeloma or another kind of cancer?
Yes, the doctor told them they wanted to harvest the bone marrow while Jim was still feeling well and healthy -- I am given to understand that will not be the case after he is on chemo for a while as that will break down the immune system. However, he had said they would freeze the bone marrow then wait to return it back to his body -- wait until his body is no longer responding well to the oral chemo -- maybe 5 years down the road. Right now he is responding well. But Medicare won't allow them to wait. They want it finished right away. So, basically, he will be forced to have this procedure now which he doesn't need yet, or not have it at all. They have an appointment to get it done in 8 weeks, so they have that time to decide whether to go thru with it, or to just take their chances with the oral chemo he's on now. It's a big decision for them. He is doing well right now, and they were told, as you said, that the treatment itself will initially make him very, very sick.
I'm sorry you're not feeling well, Ginny. Great that you had the evening off -- you deserve it! Hope the birthday party went well.
Hi Dee!
Hey Barb, that recipe does sound good . . maybe I'll try it too.
Marsha, meant to tell you early this morning that I have 2 nice big sheet cake pans you can borrow! The biggest one is about a 30"x30", so would make a lot of cake [:)] . . . I got them when our daughter got married, tho they were to set the ice sculpture in, not the cake [:D] that sounds like quite a gathering -- lots of God and lots of food and lots of fun [sm=icon_smile.gif] . . . I hope it all goes well for you.
I got all my sewing orders finished today. Garrett left at 11:30 this morning, so I had all afternoon to work on them, and work I did! Over $200 worth of sewing, and I'll be glad to get that money too [:)] . . . I was trying hard to get them done czu I need to go to St Louis tomorrow to pick up the flooring from our daughter's. I've got 2 weeks to get the room ready, so I'll come back home tomorrow evening or Friday so I can get started on that.
