Chemo



Wednesday I begin my chemo. My port is in...it feels odd but will save me
on all the needle pricks.
The day before the chemo I have to get a bone scan...the nuclear kind. I
guess they can tell from hot spots.
I'll keep you posted.
Thank you for all the support. It really has meant more than words can
express.
Hugs,
Pami
