Okay, we are 3/4 's the way of the first 4 treatments. Each treatment, about the 3rd, 4th, and 5th day makes me run out of gas. Each one longer. I had chemo on the 30th of Dec. and our family had a wonderful New Year's Eve. I saw 2009 come in, watched my children play Wii, held my new granddaughter, loved Madison, and had a wonderful visit with a few friends.
WOW, what Jan 1st brought was like night and day. I was flat with NO ENERGY whatsoever for the next 2 days. Saturday, I was upright more and feeling stronger. Today, (Sunday) is like a new day. I have trouble with this because I am not used to being down and not able to function, but this is what chemo does and hopefully I have only one more then on to another drug. My understanding is that it's reaction is a little different, we will see. I told my children that ole Mom would not be the same at the end of the week as she was when they arrived on Mon and Tues. I hated for them to see me this way, but it is what it is and we move on. Jim has been soooo supportive and encouraging, that's love for sure.
I wish to Thank everyone for their continuous prayers and good wishes for 2009. Please know that these prayers and good wishes keep me going and looking forward to the end of these treatments. My doctor is pleased and says everything is going well and that the chemo is doing its job. I just have to accept it.
Looking forward to seeing everyone next week. Happy New Year!
