Thought I'd update, since the two movies we just finished are over and I need a distraction. We watched "At First Sight"....(I've been wanting to see that since I've had it for a few years) "Ghostbusters" I haven't seen that on in years!! I was looking for a little comic relief....it's sure a silly movie! I saw the Dr. this morning for my "shot" and I told him how I've been so sick to my stomach, but not nausea. Well, he said to take my nausea pill of which I've only taken once the night of Chemo. I'm sure hoping that will help. I don't seem to want to eat anything because my stomach does summer salts....Hopefully, that will be the answer. I'm very weak and achey and I do try to eat....I had some Egg Nogg yesterday. It was good! I've taken the milkshake that takes pretty good. Also, I've been spoiled with some of Donell Miller's white bread. That tasted pretty good too. This is a crazy way to loose weight, but I think it might work. Matt, keeps reminding me I'm only just beginning! I just can't imagine this for several months. I'm pretty much out of it and by the night time my temperature spikes and I just freeze and ache. What am I to learn from all of this?? I know that I will be more dependent on the Priesthood and my family. Matt doesn't really know what to do or think. Pray for him too! Love to all, Karla

Crissell Paskett just set up this Blog for me!! I'm so excited to get to have this.....She is just the sweetest person in the world....(So is Spencer) I love them both!
For any of you that might be interested in my progression! I guess that's the best word to describe it at this time. The Chemo is trying to reduce and kill the "bad" cells but at the same time kills the "good" cells. I'm really on a learning curve at the moment. But, if I had witches powers like in the Wizard of Oz I'd sure put a house on that bad cell!! Well, it is what it is....and here goes the ride on the broom. I have inflammatory breast cancer that has large cells in the lymph nodes. I will be on Chemo for 4.5 mo. with shots just about everyday here and there. Ogden Regional,McKayDee,Davis...the shots are the pits. Just to let everyone know it grows very quickly and that's why they didn't pick it up 6mo ago on the mammogram that I had. Craziness. Those of you that have some encouraging words for Matt he's devistated! His previous wife died at age 40 after suffering one year with her battle. It's a bad dream that he is very worried about having to live thru again. I don't know if I have the strength to keep him going but I'
m trying as feeble as that is. Thanks for your Prayers, Karla
