| Third Treatment (June 2005) |
 |
| 6.8.05 Mimi's third chemotherapy treatment. She gets cravings for Rice Crispy Treats just as she did when she was pregnant. |

| The most difficult part of the third treatment was the return of the drug rash that we avoided during the second cycle. We managed to control much of the rash with a large dose of a steroid, but this precipitated two weeks of migraine headaches. The headaches coincided with Mimi's annual "Camp Mom"- the week after school lets out but before summer camps begin. With help from Bob we still managed to have a productive week with a lot of art projects, reading time and baking. The girls also enjoyed playdates, visits with their cousins and outings to Mimi's parents whose nearby condo complex has a swimming pool. |

| Camp Mom |
 |
| During the past few summers our family has gone camping on Fathers Day weekend with several other families. To continue this tradition, Bob took our girls up to the campsite while Mimi "camped out" in a nearby hotel with two close friends. |

| Melinda & Mimi had to take a detour for wine tasting on the way to the camp site! |
| Mimi's been enjoying lots of visits from good friends from all over, including such exotic places as LA , Indiana and North Carolina. |
 |
| After seeing this, a box of delicious home made rice cripsy treats arrived from a friend/colleague was appalled to find Mimi eating packaged rice crispy treats! |
