Chemo No-Mo'

My Dad sent me a beautiful floral bouquet that arrived on Monday. The note said, "You have more colorful days ahead."  It was exactly what I needed to hear at that moment. Life wasn't so colorful that day, my eyes and skin were the dullest of shades and I was just starting to come around from being sick.  So looking forward to all the beauty that is to come post chemo (mostly: no more sick days!, my body slowly but surely getting back to normal and on track and working out again).

Can you believe it? 6 rounds down and no more to go. 18 weeks has come and gone so quickly, when I started out with chemo 18 weeks seemed like it would be a lifetime of feeling crappy.

Next step is surgery which is scheduled for two weeks from today, February 9th.

I am starting to feel better, still was having rough times up until last night but woke up today feeling a bit more life myself and am back to work. Visited with Dr. Meyering yesterday and my white blood cell count is ok, not great but nothing to be of great concern and my anemia is manageable. The Dr told me that I have been a big support to patients of Tri-Valley which I thought was so sweet of her to share. I was feeling dizzy at the time she told me so didn't have much of a reaction but have been thinking about it since. It reminds me that no matter what we may face, support from everyone around makes all the difference.

Your love, prayers and continued support throughout my chemo has been such a blessing for me. xoxo
