Gaye did great last night with her first full dose of chemo pills.  She slept through the night and even slept for about 9 hours.  Woke up feeling good and still feeling good midday.  We walked to the market this morning and she suggested that we walk to the bank now.  Says that she is still feeling fine.  So off to a great start so far.  And her appetite is good too.    She sure is making my "job" easy!!!.

Beautiful bouquet from a friend's garden given to Gaye.
