It's been a long time since I last posted. And here we are...another round of chemo tomorrow! Already, huh?! After tomorrow, I'll be half way done. Wow. I think I also have a scan coming up here soon, I will find out from the dr tomorrow when I see her. The bumps in my neck are all but gone. I would say they are gone, but I think I feel some imaginary bumps in there. I will probably always feel imaginary bumps in there, from now on. This is my life!
I continue to feel good. I have been working full time, I am still running about 2-4 miles at a time, 3-4 times a week. I hope I can run a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving, we'll see how this chemo goes. My finger tips are still numb. I don't pay any mind to it anymore. My feet are generally ok, every now and then I feel like they are a bit numb, but then I feel them again. That ucky feeling in my stomach is gone for now, but we will see once I start up the prednisone tomorrow. I'll start taking my preventative meds tonight. The last week, I have been falling asleep at 9 pm, after the kids are in bed. I can't keep my eyes open! Or I have to have a nap in the afternoon. I suppose that's to be expected. Other than that, I am truckin' along!
I did have to remind myself that I do indeed have cancer, this last weekend. It's hard for me to remember this sometimes, as stupid as that sounds. I did get a little bit scared, wondering "what if the chemo isn't working?" etc. Again, I'm sure this will now be the story of my life, always wondering if it's not working, or if it's come back, or if it's moved somewhere else... What can I do? Just keep going on, and thinking positively. I am still positive, I just have to nudge myself every now and then, tell myself that even though I have been given the easy route so far, it's still a big open road I have to travel.
I'm excited because two of my spectacular friends are driving up from miles and miles away to sit and watch me get shot up tomorrow :). Safe travels, Lisa and Jenny!! I'll update more this week. Sorry it's been such a long time since I've posted, but when there's nothing to report, assume I am doing well. :)
Xoxoxo
