Quick update

Blood counts are lower, CA19-9 is higher -- up to 589. Not great, but the doctor says it's still too soon to tell if the FOLFOX is working. One more round of the chemo and we'll have a better idea.
I'm feeling a bit low these days, and not just because food either doesn't go down or doesn't stay down. People have said all along that I have a great attitude, but not right at the moment. Oh, well. This, too, shall pass.

It *will* pass. Hugs to you in the meantime.

I think it's only natural under the circumstances. I have moments of extreme overwhelming 'what the ...' and hang in there knowing they will pass. I view them as a small price to pay for feeling okay most of the time. Get the knitting out and knit the glumness away! Love the shelving up the stairs by the way. :D
