"Die you STUPID Cancer"

Terry and I had a wonderful Christmas. We spent it with Janell and Brandon. We took Terry's dad Haskell with us to Morgan. Janell is a fantastic cook. We eat, read stories, watched movies, and played with Brickman and Teagan's toys.
I am feeling really good. I had a doctor's appointment before the Christmas break. The doctor said I am doing really well. I lost 11 pounds in a week. They weren't too keen on that..... But I told them I have a lot to lose. My next Chemo treatment is the 6th of January. NOT, looking forward to that. The doctor asked me if I was hurting at all. I told him that sometimes my breasts hurt and my underarms.... I also told him that when they HURT it think to myself "DIE-DIE-DIE you stupid cancer" If I am hurting the chemo is working.. So " DIE you stupid cancer cells. So I can LIVE!!" (you have to get the whole scaring voice included) (gruff and with attitude) You should have seen the poor Doctor....... he thinks I'm nuts... (but I am just a little crazy)!!
I am working and keeping really busy. Mary (office assistant) is amazing. She keeps me safe. She sprays Lysol all day--on all the papers-- before students come in to the office and after they leave. I love that women! She is so good to me.!!


The picture of the deer??? I know you were wondering... It was in my Grandma Erma's house when I was really young... Anyway that's what I remember.
Later.....

It was great to see you the other night at Janel's. Jen got sick so we couldn't make another trip over to see you. It is your happy crazy attitude that will get you through this. We are praying for you. We love you!! :)

Man Gloria, you are the best. Even when we were young and skinny you were an amazing person. I know you can beat this. I know you will look lovely without your hair. I know that your trials make you even better. I love you. Joan
