And From Cathy on August 8:

Yes, an interesting new adventure in unchartered territory to say the least, "The Big C"!

Well, leave it to Jo to start a blog for me, thank you my dear friend! And also thanks to everyone's kind well wishes and support!

Sorry I've been leaving you hanging...just been inundated with the business of life in pulling all this together to be here for three weeks, setting up an apt, getting daily infusion treatments, dr apts, dealing with irritating side effects, crash napping at the end of the day and nights of little sleep! And even working my day job when I can.

I just spent an hour composing my blog reply and trying to publish and then lost it all.. poof! Just like in the old days when you didn't save a word doc and lost everything. Dang! Some things don't change.

I'm going to stop here and see if it takes and will add to this weekend. This is a new thing for me too! More later! Cathy

And from Shelley Latimer Rinta

Shelley tried posting on this blog and couldn't do it.  So far, Jo is not doing very well with this blog.  Hope others will keep trying.  This was Shelley's message:

 

So I am thankful to know Cathy's Dr. choice and especially that Steve is helping with Evan. Big thoughts and prayers going Cathy's way.

Please keep us/me updated.

Do you know if Cathy can receive cards where she is or is it best to send to her home?

 

love and hugs,

Shelley Rinta
