Round Three

Okay, I am halfway through the chemo - yahoo! The third round was a bit rougher than the first two and the effects lasted longer. Thank goodness they finally started to subside and I was able to enjoy sunday a bit.

I am learning the routine a bit now and will be a bit better prepared next round. I am taking a little more time off work and trying to get a nap or at least rest in almost daily. I am trying to exercise - but for about a week after chemo I have so many body aches that getting through my day is tough enough. I am going to try and walk on the two good weeks that I have though and try to keep in some sort of shape.

Thanks to my sister and her organic cooking, it made things a bit less hectic since she had a lot of prepared food ready for us. She taught me to drink 'good ginger ale' and kefer - so hopefully I will get through this round with no fever or infection.

I am trying to keep my spirits up - so thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers. They do really help! I am starting to plan a vacation when the chemo phase is over and before I jump right into surgery. It will be a good bonding time for our family where we can just laugh and be silly and just enjoy life a bit. At least that is my goal...
