She started the Xeloda, almost made it through 12 of the 14 day cycle and became quite sick for about 6 days. But she started feeling real good about 5 days after stopping the treatment. Now she is on cycle 2 as of yesterday. The highlight of the week was her getting baptized. This was one of her goals since February. You can read about it on her blog update. We both pray and hope you are doing better. Sue still talks about you often. Thursday is 22 months !! Walter. Kate,

I hope the nausea and other side effects of your treatments have subsided and you are feeling better. I'd like to make a suggestion regarding courage and how tough you are. Any time you are having doubts, go to your blog and go back to August, 2007. Start reading forward and read each of your entries and all of the responses. Your courage, toughness, strength of spirit, determination, sense of humor and your ability to communicate is incredible! Just think about the many, many people you've had a positive impact on through your postings. Stay strong, keep fighting, and live each day to it's fullest! Ken Hi Kate:

I had a distal Pancreatectomy/Splenectomy. I know what ya mean about fluid build up. What a fast track to hell that was! I am on Gemzar now. I want you to know your website has been an inspiration to me, and I check in almost daily to read your clever and entertaining posts.I pray for you and all of us who are in this battle together. You don't deserve an F...you deserve an A+ for hanging in there. I often promise myself I won't put myself through any more...but then we keep putting one foot in front of the other and march on in defiance of this sneaky sleasy disease. Enjoy the beach!

You are my inspiration, role model, down-to-earth pal, and just plain cool chick! Looking forward to our next trip, even if it consists of laying around the hotel catching up on RnR...any adventure is more fun with you there.

From where I stand, you get an A+ for effort and for your willingness to share with those you may help and those who care about you. Thinking about quitting and quitting are two different things. You are not a quitter. Holy Cow! From where I stand, you get an A+ for effort and for your willingness to share with those you may help and those who care about you.
