Preparation

Tomorrow is my 3rd chemo treatment and my half way point, can you believe it?  I can't, it feels like yesterday that I found out I had breast cancer.
I am preparing myself for treatment tomorrow:
+ Started my steroid this morning which I take the day before, day of and day after treatment.  I do have to admit that I hate the steroid. I know that it helps keep side affects from the chemo at bay but the side effect of the drug is insomnia which is awful and terrible timing because I need my rest to keep my body healthy to fight off the terrible things from the chemo and the cancer.
+ I am drinking lots and lots of water in prep for tomorrow, over the next week I have to stay committed to drink 8-10 glasses a day which is hard for me.  I can go throughout a day with having one cup of coffee and one glass of water, which I know isn't good for me.  Yesterday I drank 9 glasses which was a victory!
+ Eating lots of fiber to help with all the bowel issues that are up and coming.  Yeap you heard me right.... it's awful!
+ Tried to get lots of sleep last night, but my sleep pattern right now is a 5 hours of sleep waking up three times.  I use to sleep great...oh how I miss the old days.
+ Will eat a lot over the next three days because come Saturday, nothing will taste good.  So I like to fill my body with nutrients hoping it will take me through my sick days.
+ Getting my things packed and house ready.  I will be at my parents while I am sick, starting Saturday and for likely a week.  Last round I was down and out for five days.  Knowing ahead of time that you will be sick is a different and weird feeling.  Although now that I think of it, when I use to get a cold I would always says that the timing wasn't good for me.  Every time I would wake up sick, I would always say, "Today isn't a good day to be sick,"  Well now, I plan my life around my sick days.

I have a long work day ahead, I will be in Orange County from 11 and won't be home until after midnight, but all is good so that I can get a lot done to be able to take some time off tomorrow.

I will update you tomorrow during treatment.  Have a great day!
