The first two weeks have had its ups and downs. When I am on chemo I feel run down and sick, but when I am not...I feel fantastic. My appetite and taste buds have come back and all in all I am feeling pretty normal. Monday I will get my second bone marrow biopsy to see how my cancer cell growth is slowing. As for now, I am in a neutropenic precautionary status...which means no fresh fruit, veggies or raw foods due to bacteria. Because of my low immune system I am very susceptible to disease and infection.
I love the contact with everyone via email, twitter and comments on this blog site. You help keep my spirits up and remind me of what is most important in life...friends and family. A HUGE shout out to all my kids! Keep Rockin', swimmin', and just being the great kids that you are!
Love you all,
Todd

No fresh fruit or veggies? Perhaps a bag of Doritos and some Guinness might be in order! Keep up your positive spirit & know that we are pulling for you along this journey :) xoxoxo to you, K & G! Linda
Todd:
Sending you positive vibes over the net (can you sense them?) Your energy is inspiring! I'm glad you feel better today.
So many people signed up to help in October we're actually out of tasks to assign on the Todd and Kelly's Helpers website!!! We'll add some more for November soon.
Your diet plan sounds like an excuse to eat junk food to me! Say the word and we'll deliver the Taco Bell ("hold the lettuce!")
I'm looking for a fun game website where we can "meet" to play against each other remotely (sort of like Sam and Daniela play Webkins or Club Penguin with friends... They meet on-line!) Any ideas?
Love ya! Mercedes
Love the pictures - if you hadn't told me I wouldn't think anything was going on. Anyway, keep the creative juices flowing they will heal you. Make sure you are watching lots of comedies, I know a women who swears she was healed through laughter. It does work.
Hugs and love
Peter, Nancy & Alexa
