First I want to state again how important it has been and is for me to have such supportive friends and family. Thank you, thank you!!
Second, an observation about health care. I am SO lucky to have good insurance and I'm an example of why we need insurance reform in the U.S. so no one has to be bankrupted by getting what I've got. Just two examples give you an idea how horribly expensive this is if you dont have insurance: my two radiation sessions were over $35,000 snd I just picked up my Temodor chemo prescription (will take the first pill tonight) - 28 days is $7700 - about $275 a dose. Because of my fabulous coverage through the Swatch Group my out of pocket is virtually nothing - but it still makes me incredibly aware of the need so many other people have to be protected in the event of catastrophic illness such as this. So be kind in your opinions about health care reform - someday everyone will need some kind of help and it should be affordable and available. OK, I'm off the soap box.
Had curry and birthday cake, plus ate a tuna sandwich today...yea! I'm not 100% but getting closer to enjoying food again. I'll let you know how the chemo goes later this week.
