PDCC92 and update

Hi ladies! The prayers were felt on Tuesday as the fourth Chemo session went better than I had expected. Although the smell in the polyclinic is exceptionally bad, I was helped within half an hour, one hour on the infuse and the taxi was ready and waiting to take me home when I was finished. Even the doctor was nice to me and prescribed a very expensive injection to pick up my white blood count for more energy. Either that or returning next week - no way! Today was a slow start and I'm feeling it, but happy to say that it seems to be less nauseating and heavy. Thank God!
Thank you for your continual prayers and support, it so helps me stay connected.


Now, the colors this week for the PDCC really caught my eye. So I made a card, inspired by the ladies on the Hero Arts flickr gallery, especially Judy and Vanessa, with these colors. No secret how much I just love the Hydrangea stamp from Hero Arts, stamped on Kraft with white color box ink.




Thanks to Tiffany for the pretty flowers she sent.

  12. I am so glad to hear the last chemo went well and that you were back home quite fast. Being there for chemo is already difficult enough and there is no place like home to recover. I am glad you are felling well; counting the circumstances.
    And your card; I can only sigh. This is stunning. So so gorgeous and I love that hydrangea stamp!
