She's starting to feel some of the odd side effects of the chemo, like numbness on the balls of her feet. Mornings are good for her these days... late afternoon, not so much. Her belly bothers her a bit then and she feels kinda lousy.
Dr. B said not to be too concerned about fluctuations in how Peg feels. Part of the gig. She did say, though, that the effects of chemo are cumulative, so as we head toward November there could be some rough days. There's also a possibility of a 7th round of chemo, since the first round in the hospital was abdominal and didn't distribute properly in her abdomen. It was loculated. (Now you have a new scrabble word to try out).
Tonight Peg's going to meet with her women's group for the first time since June. They've met every other Thursday for almost 20 years. She may be too poohed to stay the whole time, but it's a big step for her just to be out. Yay!

Peggy - You go girl! It's nice to get an A+ from the Doctor, and then get to go out and "dish" not "dis" with the gals. (I'm guessing the "dish" came from when women washed dishes together after gatherings and had time to, shall we say, discuss items of interest and the guests.)
As for you, my dear brother, Eric. New words for scrabble don't count unless they contain a Z, X or Q. However, I'll keep this new word in mind. Sounds like it's a direction from Star Trek!
Love to you all. Seester Paula.
Hope that you had a great time with the group. It's a small step but my guess is that it will give you a fabulous emotional lift.
This was dangerous information to allow Peg's sister Jeanette to see... every time we've played scrabble she beats me like a rented mule. I guess the saving grace is that there's no z, x or q.
