Greetings Loyal Readers,
Your Faithful Correspondent is coming to you live from the Goose Island Brew Pub. As my Loyal Readers are well aware, if today's Tuesday, it must be a chemo day. So let's get right to all the news...
Chemo was attended today by Mom (of course), My Darling Sister 1.5, and YFC. Sadly, Mom was unable to go to chemo today because her platelet count was too low (those blasted platelets!) although her white blood cells were ok. So we talked to the Troll (in Trollish, the official language of trolls worldwide) and discussed options. Mom will have a new chemo schedule. Whereas she had been going 3 weeks on, 1 week off, Mom will now be 2 weeks on, 1 week off.
In other words:
Week 1: Chemo
Week 2: Chemo
Week 3: Off
Repeat
Easy as pie, no? Actually, making pie isn't so easy. YFC recently made a shepherd's pie in a pie crust...well wouldn't ya know that the recipe doesn't actually call for a pie crust? Don't ask.
In other news, we were going to initiate UA as a Chemo Buddy today but alas, Mom was already finished with her appointment with the Troll by the time he arrived, so the 4 of us just went for lunch instead. And do you know where we went? Of course you do silly willies! We went to Goose Island dontcha know?
Speaking of Chemo Buddies, Cousin Andee will be initiated as a Chemo Buddy on February 5th. Good dates are filling up fast, so get on the stick and reserve your date today!
The staff of The Chemo Chronicle want to send out our condolences to Cousin Vicki, Scott, Lauren and Seth. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Also, although YFC doesn't always say it (althugh he is always thinking it), thank you for all of the e-mails, cards, and phone calls offering support to Mom, 1.5 and YFC. They mean more than words can adequately express, we are greatly appreciative.
Finally, another reader e-mail:
Dear YFC,
You rock. Why are you so good to us?
- Wondering in Waukesha, Wisconsin
Well, WOWW, isn't it obvious? It's because YFC loves you.
Sadly, this must be cut short. Lunch is over and Your Faithful Correspondent must swap his blogger hat for a chauffeur cap. If YFC gets anymore hats to wear, he's going to need a new addition for his closet.
Wishing you a lovely day my lovelies...
Faithfully,
Corey

Dear YFC,
Thank you for your words. I have expressed them to Vicki.
Don't let Cousinie Andee fool you, she is a chemo buddy only because I did it. Don't tell her where we went to lunch, I wanted it to be a better place. I will sign up again for another tour when I return home in a few weeks.
Cousinie Scott
First off, again my sincerest condolences.
Secondly, we all know that Cousine Andee has secretly worshipped you for years, so it's no surprise that she'd want to walk in your footsteps. Frankly, I'm just a bit surprised that your brother hasn't come yet -- I hear that he's looked up to you for ages.
I look forward to seeing you again soon...
Corey
Corey,
Please note that my brother is much older than us.
We all look up to him except Seth is taller now.
Scott
