Ready....

The gloves are back on....last week I was ready to give up on chemo after treatment No. 5 because it kicked my a**.  I am ready now, to put back up a fight!  Ready to be back in the game. T (-) 10 days until my last infusion.

Life is slowing down for me... Tired all the time, body and mind are exhausted, muscles feel weak.  I took Kensington for a walk the other night with Liz and Horatio and the walk was not all that long, I had to sit down outside on the steps to catch my breath.  I use to wake up thinking coffee now, I think cancer.  My exhaustion and lazy feeling is a constant reminder that I am far from my old self.

My memory and concentration has gone kaput.  Doctor said it will be about a year until I am out of the chemo haze and back to full energy.  I think I might be most looking forward to that...even over hair growth.

Met with my oncologist and surgeon on Friday and had very good appointments.  All vitals are looking good, down to 115 lbs (my junior high weight) but the doctor's aren't worried.  I don't think I am loosing weight from the treatments, I think I am loosing the weight because I no longer eat sugar.

Weekend was lots of fun and eventful and saw many friends.  Looking forward to a full week back at work with NO doctor's appointments and a weekend away in Santa Barbara.

love ya!
