2 down 10 to go...
The treatment session on Tuesday was only 3 1/2 hours. No waiting in the lab to get the blood work results back make the time go faster. I get the thumbs up OK to receive the chemo....blood counts are good. The steroids, benedryl, taxol, herceptin all follow through the IV lines into my port one at a time. And before you know it I am ready to leave. It is as simple as that. I relax in a chair, read a book, watch tv, or just rest.
Wednesday I took Jordan for a walk. Orrrr should I say Jordan took me for a mile walk, then I took her the other 2 miles. Yes, I was well enough for a 3 mile hike. It was such a beautiful day here and probably the last til spring. So, yes, I had to get out. As long as I feel well, I am going to keep moving. Tomorrow is another day with snow in the forecast...I will be sleeping in. Brrrrr COLD!
On Friday, my sisters and I will be going to the American Cancer Society in Oakbrook to take a look at wigs. I plan on bringing some wine and comfort food. Having my sisters there will be quite a riot. It will be like dressing up when we were younger, putting on plays. I will keep you posted, maybe even take a picture or two.
All is well. God is Good.
