My yard looks beautiful. One of the fist things I do each morning is walk through my backyard as I drink a cup of coffee and enjoy the beauty of all the plants and flowers. I am constantly reminded of the ongoing support I receive from so many people. The boys and I have been hanging little white lights throughout the yard and when the weather allows it, we have dinner outdoors. It is so relaxing and beautiful!!! The kids are dong real good, they are growing up fast and maturing even faster. It’s amazing how we went from me taking care of them to them taking care of me
For a Christmas present, Ron surprised me with my very own Harley Davidson motorcycle helmet, it is soooo cool, and I absolutely love it!!!! He took me for a ride around the Salton Sea one Sunday morning to try-on my new helmet and it was incredible, the weather was gorgeous, the sun was shinning and the day was perfect. I did not want the ride to end…
Today I’m scheduled to have a CT scan (after four treatments). I will have the results from the scan on Tuesday when I meet with my Oncologist right before treatment #5 (and then only one more to go). As you can imagine, the anticipation to see what the results will show is driving me crazy. I keep telling myself that everything is going to be OK. I consider myself lucky considering that the side effects have not been terrible. The first week after treatment is the worst, the second week I start feeling better and by the third week, I feel almost normal!?!?! (whatever normal is, I don’t think I remember anymore). Overall, I feel well. Its funny how we take for granted the little things in life. Up until just a few weeks ago, the smell of any scents (or strong odors, for that matter) would make cough and I would get the feeling of suffocating that does not happen so much anymore. Also, I can sing again, not that I was any good at it before, but still enjoy doing it in the shower or the car.
Thanks again to all of you who keep sending me cards, e-mails and well wishes, all your support is very much appreciated!!!

Hi Carmen,
Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and still praying, looks like it's working but then again, was there ever a doubt?
Stay strong and positive and remember that you have a whole team of friends and family rooting for you and supporting you.
We CAN, we WILL beat this!!!!
I love you and am thinking of you all the time. Keep me posted.
