Larry and I have been trying to find the best possible way to let all the wonderful people who care so deeply about us know how this crazy journey is going. We were given the fabulous idea of using a blog so that friends and family can stay up to date on how my treatments are going. I am not sure how much will be disclosed here, or how often, but I do hope that it will be a place where I can let all of you know how I am, how I feel and how much I appreciate your thoughts, prayers, concerns, and love.
To get the ball rolling:
Chemo starts on Monday and I am feeling about as nervous as one could imagine, but I have spent the weekend eating all of the foods I'm not allowed to as of D-day, laughing, giggling, smiling and just all around feeling loved. I will visit with my Dad and kids from out of town tomorrow and hopefully get a decent nights sleep and then...well, then it all starts. Part of my entourage (Mom, Lar, Jess and Laura Ashely) will be my steadfast companions for the day and I can't tell you how grateful I am for that. I will likely give you all an update on Monday as I sit there for about 8 hours getting all that good stuff and I doubt I can read for that long or listen to music, or knit scarves. So...until I figure out how to update this crazy internet blog thinguhmajig, thank you all for being so incredibly wonderful. I love you and I could not have endured the first half of this journey without you and I certainly could not complete it.

We will continue sending love and healing your way. Let us know if we can do anything. We sent Miss B off to Clemson yesterday. If I can get through that, as strong as you are, you'll surely do just fine. We love you!!!!! (and Larry too)
We'll be thinking about both of you.

Dearest Mary,
Your blog is the very first that I have visited. You know what an ole dinosaur I am with computers! You have a gazillion people praying for you and Larry here in the Upstate. We will miss you this weekend, but know that a trip to the Gulf with Larry will be close to heaven. All my love! Pops
Shug, You look awesome with your new do! If anyone can pull it off, it is you. You will always be my sunshine. I love and adore you. Mom(fan club president)
