Going strong

Things seem to be going pretty well this round. The fatigue is a bit worse - but everything else is much better. I have not had the severe muscle aches, leg pain or swelling that seemed to accompany the other treatments. Overall, it has been not too rough of a weekend - even though much of it was spent in bed :-). I did manage to attend Nat's soccer game and was asst. coach and then went to the carnival for a few hours. Andrew had been counting down the days and I really wanted to see his face when he saw all the rides. I guess cancer does change a few things... I bought the kids and Steve their favorite junk food and paid too much money for the rides without a single complaint. I was just happy to be enjoying it!!



I am hoping to gradually get my energy back this week and work a bit. The following week, Nat is off track for summer so I have a few fun days planned with both kids. I bought both kids some new clothes and will do the school supplies this week. It feels odd to do it at the beginning of summer but the kids start school the first week of July. If I focus on getting them ready and set for school, I do not focus too much on the cancer.



Steve is doing well and becoming quite the chef. I think he was tired of my reccomendations for tomato soup or grilled cheese - so he has been doing some experimenting. On the days when I can taste normal, it is pretty good. I am trying to cook a bit more too - but I tend to bake which is okay too. The kids love it! I also taught Nat to e-shop and told her that was Mommy's new favorite way of shopping for things. I do not think she really understood it - but will when the package arrives. Let's hope she does not figure out how to find my credit card and do it on her own...
