February 28

Good news.  Judy's white count is 1.03 so she is having chemo at this very moment.  Of course, this means I won't have a dance partner tonight for dance lessons unless I haul out Mary or Haley.

February 25 - Another Delay

Judy's white cell count was down again yesterday to 0.58 so the next possible date for chemo is February 28.  Of course, the erratic white cell counts are not new to Judy.  Over the past 5 years and 40+ chemo treatments, delays have been par for the course.  Judy feels great and looks great.  She has lots of energy and continues to be positive.

February 18

Judy was not able to have chemo today because her white cell count was only 0.65.  I may have mentioned in my last entry that her white cell count was 1.3 on February 13.  Crazy!  The next scheduled chemo is Monday, February 24 unless the cancer clinic has a cancellation on February 21.  We had planned on a weekend getaway, but that plan is gone.  If the next chemo is on February 24, then the following chemo would be scheduled for March 17, the day we were going to Phoenix for a two week holiday.  That's life with chemo and white cell counts.  We really can't plan beyond the next chemo.

February 13

Judy had a CT scan on February 6 and today she met with her oncologist to hear the results of the CT scan.  The news continues to be positive.  The tumor in the pelvic area has decreased in size.  The lesions in the lungs have not grown.  Furthermore, Judy's white cell count was over 1.3; therefore, she should be able to have her 8th chemo on February 11.

Diamond Judy continues to sparkle.  She looks great and is living life to the fullest.  We had Mary, Morgan, the Feld girls, and their significant others over for dinner on Tuesday.  Haley, Dustin, and our friends, the Hudsons were over for dinner tonight.  Judy is an amazing hostess and I did an amazing job of washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen while Judy visited.  Life is good.

Thank you for your continued love, support, friendship, laughter, and prayer.
