Tough as Nails

We know that cancer is tough.  Cancer is tough as nails.  Some days fighting cancer/chemotherapy is like choking down a nail milkshake  . . .  there's something good in there, but sweet relief can be easily obscured by the more painful ingredients.

I told Sheri when she first received her diagnosis that this was when her much-loved gutsy personality was going to serve her well.  I am thankful that she is a tenacious woman, although I wish she wasn't having to pull from those reserves quite so much. 

Sheri's white blood count was low after her chemo treatment and she was left feeling pretty awful.  She was admitted back to CMC and is making steady improvement to get the count back up, and to feel well. I believe she is doing better every day.

Please no visitors while she's getting her strength back.

Before starting chemo Sheri had her nails done in what she called the official "Peritoneal Color" --OPI 's  Teal We Meet Again.  She passed out a few bottles at her pre-chemo party . . . and I am getting my Sheri Pedi this week.  If you are interested in joining in with this show of support,  grab this color the next time you get your nails done.  I love that it is bold like Sheri and I look forward to talking her up and sending some affirming energy her way when I am inevitably asked about my new blue look :) 

As always, thanks for your concern.
