I’m getting ready to start more treatment next week, and a number of you have asked if there is anything you can do to help. Aside from sending lots of love, light, good vibes, prayers, support, encouragement, juju, and positivity (which is AMAZING), Jacqui and I are thinking that it would be very good to have people come visit us and help fill our home with warmth, support, and joy.
It’s going to be hard with this next round of chemo. I will be getting treatments 3 days a week, every 3 weeks, for 4 times. So, it will last 12 weeks. Treatments will happen on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, starting next Monday, on July 25, and then on July 26th and 27th.
If you would like to help out by making us food one of those nights, we would greatly appreciate it. Make enough for yourself too, if you want, and then come over and eat with us.
I know that it would be easier if this could be more organized. You can create an account on my blog, and we’re working on something that will allow you to Sign Up to make us dinner on a specific night. More details to come on that soon.
The other thing that Jacqui and I were thinking, since I probably have more chance of developing aversion to foods since chemo will happen for multiple days in a row, is to sign up for a service that provides freshly prepared foods, so that we can pick up a nice dinner already made. So, if you’re not up to cooking us dinner, but would still like to help out, you could donate some money towards us having these pre-made dinners. (I honestly don’t know much about them, but Jacqui thinks they are a good idea, so I think they’re a good idea too.)
Of course, if you can’t manage either of the above, we are still very grateful for all of your thoughts and prayers, and all the positive energy you send when we need it the most.
Thanks, everyone.
