Late in 2018 the chemo treatment she was on became ineffective so in January 2019 she began a new regimen. Every Friday for eight weeks she spent five hours in the chemo room. Then it dropped to every other Friday for eight weeks, then every fourth Friday. I am so privileged in that I get to accompany her to chemo and sit with her during her treatment.
She sleeps for most of that time and I cross stitch. I chose several small projects that I only work on during chemo sessions.
This is one of my (chemo) finishes:
It's a freebie that I picked up somewhere on fabric that I can't identify using DMC threads mounted on a paddle I picked up at a local collectible shop.
How's that for helpful details?! haha
All together I completed four small projects in 2019 and will share them as I "finally" finish them.
My friend is doing great! This combination of drugs is working. I'm praying it continues to for a long time.
You are a good friend to her! I can imagine prayers while you stitch and it's to good to read that this new drug is helping her.
