2 down; 6 to go (and lot's of good things to cherish in between!!)

Wow - so much has gone on since the 1st treatment on June 8.  Side effects were well controlled... we will sign up for this if this is extent of what we experience!!

First 3-4 days after chemo treatment are rough, but after that, energy level picks up and things are OK. 

Went to lunch with Silvana and Jerolyn on Wednesday.  Nice place on the Ramapo River.  Ate a lot of brown rice!!

Danielle and boys came to town for Father's Day weekend. We had such a nice time.  Nick, Alison and Cole joined us on Sunday.  It was so nice hving 3 kids and 6 Grandkids together.  Some photos of all the things we did are included (planted flowers in symbol of breast cancer ribbon, went to pool, played with cousins, sent balloons to Nonna Jenny)!

The girls and kids decided to have some fun with my wigs.  I think I am going to have to fight to keep them for myself!!  YES - the 3rd photo is William and Joseph!!

On Tuesday, 4 of my wonderful friends that I have been doing their hair for year came to the house to vist and enjoy lunch!  What a nice day!

We decided Tuesday before chemo is girls movie night, so Tita, Jerolyn & I went to see Midnight in Paris.  Good movie!!  Want to visit Paris again!

June 22 - 5:30 AM... Decided to avoid the inevitable and cut my hair!  Kids loved it (Joseph said I was beautiful and Sophia thought I was a fashionista!!)... watch out Halle Berry!!

6/22 - 11:00 AM-3:00 PM... Nick took me to Sloan Kettering today. Doctor patiently addressed all my questions!  Marcello joined us for the infusion in the afternoon.  All went well... ready to take on what the next few days bring.  1/4 of the way there... and feeling and looking good on the journey thus far!

Stay tuned for more of this life changing journey...
