My body must be adjusting to the chemo pills because the nausea is a lot less. I haven't felt very much like eating all week, but the problem is I have to take Xeloda on a full stomach. I was hoping I might lose a few pounds, but that hasn't happened. Isn't it incredible that a person can have breast cancer and still worry about how much they weigh? Just call me vain and shallow.
Anyhow, the one day of vacation did me a world of good and I am back on track taking all my meds and supplements. I only have 4 more radiation treatments on my hip to go - and then back home. I can't wait. This is a great place, but it's still a cancer treatment center.
My sister, Judith, came in Tuesday night, and her being here has made all the difference. I am able to sleep better at night just knowing she in the room. She helps me in the cafeteria balance my food on her tray. Even little things become a big deal. Today we are going to go to the mall and there is a sing-along tonight in the cafeteria. We want to see more of Tulsa before we leave since we are out in the suburbs.

Hi Jayne and Jude-
Glad things are working out. I left an answer the other day and had no trouble getting through.
You make the blog as intense as you want, I read EVERYTHING.
Love you
Take Good Care

It took us this long to figure how to do this. Jayne your faith is such an inspiration to us. We appreciate your blog and feel free to say whatever it is you have to say. God is at work,even when we don't understand his ways. We continue to pray for you daily, Love Joel and Sally
Jayne:
Everyone at work asks about you and I urge them to read your blog. It's not because I'm always reading your blog (I'm too chicken to read the beautiful truths you write more than once in a while), it's because you reveal how you feel in a way that is both intensely personal but also universal.
I can see now that this is no ordinary adventure that you're on, which your wide community of loving supporters has known all along.
I think of you often and wish you strength and peace whenever you need either.
Take care,
Charlie
