I'm glad you told your daughters about your illness. They should be a big help to you. I just heard about the grilled pizza yesterday for the very first time and now you have shared the recipe. Thanks. I'm getting hungry already.
Thanks the pizza know-how. It sounds good and when I feel a little more ambitious I'll give it a try. Til then a cll to 'Mamas Pizza' will have to do. By the way, pizza is a food that seems to have some interest for me on treatment. Glad it went ok with the kids.
I am glad it turned out well and you will have the support you need for tx.
Hope you had no sx from your first shot.

Hello I am so glad that you are not burdened with a secret, see after the first few weeks they would have noticed that you weren't feeling well.... now you will have your support. My girls have been spoiling me occassionally with lunch dates and other thoughtfulness - however they don't do windows, floors, dishes, well maybe some vaccuuming. you will see how disclosure brings you closer.
thank you for sharing your experience AND the pizza recipe, i know i would love to try that. i was just saying today i need to get the grill ready for summer.
good luck, you might not experience too much discomfort the first weeks of treatment, but as the meds build in your system...some people start having trouble as hemo drops, and some do not, and youv'e likely read about the riba rage.. might be good to forewarn the effects of the meds as well. so they will understand what is causing the irritability and occassional outburst. it is a difficult concept for adult children to grasp. even when you tell them, they don't always understand fully when they see it in action.
take care

Thanks for responding to the request for the pizza...lol!!!!! And mostly for letting us know how it turned out with your girls. I'm so happy for you. I can't imagine having to go through that hiding it. Bless you and let us know how the next few days go!!! For many, the first are the worst. -Mequila.
Not about telling the girls, but about giving us the recipe:) I'm glad you have the burden of hiding this off your chest. I felt too overwhelmed at first too, but hindsight is 20/20.
Pizza sounds "wicked", now that's a New England word! (husband from Portsmouth)
