Number 12 Down

Happy to report that treatment 12 is OVER! 3 more to go.  This was a rough one as I kind of lost it and started cryiong while she pushed my meds this week.  Not hysterical crying at least, just tears rolling down my face.  This new routine is getting to me and I felt so sick last week, that I just didn't want to repeat it again.  I can't believe that it has been 4 months of this chemo routine.  I feel so much guilt for the strain I am putting on my family.  Everyone is sacrificing so much to help me, especially Jay and my mom.  Sometimes it just feels like it will never end, but I know it will. 

I am happy to report that this time I am feeling better than last week, thank God.  My cold is finally ending, after 4 weeks, and the nausea is mild this time, so far that is.... Hoping to get to James' soccer game today and maybe do something fun tomorrow.  One can hope. 

We met with the oncologist this past Thursday before my chemo, we have another appointment with her in two weeks to discuss my next step with the 12 weeks of chemo.  Looking forward to that meeting because that means that I am closer to being done and I am interested in hearing what the next step will entail.  I am also looking forward to getting that schedule with the last chemo on it, 3 more weeks, then a glorious 2 week break.

Kari, you are so strong, but that doesn't mean you aren't allowed to cry. Tears are important in my book, as it helps to relieve stress. I'm sure your family will tell you that it isn't a sacrifice to help you and that they wouldn't have it any other way. Its good to hear that you are feeling better this week and I will pray that the remaining 3 weeks will be more of the same. Big Hugs!!!
