Well, I have finished my second round of chemo. Two down and 6 more to go. I am trying a different tactic this time...more preventative and scheduled medications than just responding to symptoms. I have made it out today, getting my Neulasta shot to keep my counts up and then lunch with Elisha. Crab cakes at Houston's are AWESOME!!! Now I am home, popped my nausea pills, and am ready for some television and a nap. Hopefully, I can continue on this speed.
Looking forward to a great weekend. Parker has his first T-ball game tomorrow. Tim has to have him in uniform at the field at 8:30. Can we say EARLY? Apparently there is a presentation with all of the teams before the games begin. My sister is having to take Pearce to his 10:00 soccer game tomorrow. I am hoping to make either one of these games, but I have a feeling the chemo will get to me by then. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. Will keep you posted as much as possible. Thanks again to my great friends, Jennifer and Elisha, for taking me for my chemo and shots. It helps to have the girlfriend support. I am lucky and blessed to have such amazing friends. My mom is on duty this weekend. The boys are in heaven....Doritos and cheese dip yesterday. Today she got them sticker books....my house will be decorated in an interesting fashion when I wake up tomorrow. Luckily, tonight my friend Diane is bringing us dinner. Mom and Tim get the night off, and we get to have Formosa. Best Chinese in town...their spring rolls and hot and sour soup are yummy. Talk soon.
P.S. The hair is not going to make it much longer. It is now coming out in the shower or if I just touch my hair. I am hoping to make it until Tuesday when I get to have it cut back and Dolly trimmed. Battle of the clock. Luckily, this does not upset me as much. I know it will come back...just like me.
I never expected to be 35 and fighting breast cancer. Control freak, that is me. When I was pregnant, loosing control of my body and emotions was very difficult. I expect this battle against cancer to be similar, just amplified greatly. I have one goal---SURVIVE. I have too much life yet lived. I will never give up.
This year promises to be a time of change...both physically and emotionally. It is my hope to find at least one positive, happy thought every day and to try and apply that to this site. So come along and join me in the fight of my life....
