I haven't posted in the past couple of days because I have been spending most of my time sleeping. Today I have a little more energy, though I must say I'm not ready to resume the treadmill quite yet.
I went to the doctor's today. They said my blood counts look great and that I'm really tolerating the treatments. I will go for a repeat scan on Monday April 16th and then meet with Dr. Sharfman on the 19th to discuss the scan and further treatment.
I will probably spend the next few days resting quietly at home and gradually resuming my walks as I am able.
By the way, my sister took me to get a haircut on Tuesday afternoon. It hasn't been this short since high school, but it's much more manageable.
Thanks for your continued postings. As always, I love reading them and they keep me encouraged!!!
Thanks!!
Erica

Dear Erica,
I am sure that you look great with your new haircut! I am really glad you are responding well to the treatment, you rock! Keep up the good spirit!
Take care,
Trinidad :)
Thanks for the message Erica. Rest up! Can't wait to see your new "do". Bet you look great and glad it's easier to manage! See you soon hopefully.
love,
Karen
I'm sure your new hair do looks fantabulous! I would love to come by and see you tomorrow. I miss my sweet little Erica! I will make sure to call you in advance.
Love,
STar
I remember your shorter H.S. hair, so I know you look beautiful as always! (Certainly better than if I had my H.S. hair [extensions]!)
I'll give you a call tomorrow to talk about next week, when you're up to it.
Love,
Mary
Erica a.k.a. Wonder Woman,
You rock! Thanks so much for letting me spend the day with you yesterday--I had a great time! It was nice to relax, chat with you, and eat grilled cheese sandwiches and ice cream. :) Dude, if you can get on a stinkin' treadmill, then surely I can get my butt out the door and take a walk around my neighborhood. I think about you every day and pray for you constantly. Much love to Christian and to your parents and siblings.
love you lots,
Kim
