"I Feel Grrreat!"

That is what Grandma Fosh said to me today when I asked how she was feeling!!!

Grandma Fosh had her first round of infusions this past Thursday and Friday. Aside from some shakes and chills (common side effect of Rituxan) the treatment was as Poppie Sandy likes to say "uneventful"! Grandma has said she has felt none of the side effects that are common to chemotherapy and that she feels wonderful! This was the first of 6 treatments!

For those of you keeping score at home:

Grandma Fosh - 1
Chemo - 0

Grandma Fosh is really showing cancer who's Boss!!!

She is very lucky to have a great medical team headed-up by Dr. Daniel Dubovsky. Poppie, you better watch out... I think Grandma has a new boyfriend in Dr. D! He has called and emailed to check in every single day (including Sunday). Grandma emails him daily to report on how she is feeling and will go see him on Thursday for a progress report.

Grandma has said how very fortunate she feels to have such wonderful children who are willing to spend so much time and engery to make sure she feels her best! She is staying at the luxurious hotel, Chez Schwartz in Sandy Springs - Dale and Susan gave her a great room rate and are providing exceptional service! I should notify Travel + Leisure of this hot new hotel!! I am afriad it will be hard to get Grandma and Poppie to leave!!
