Well shortly after writing the last post I had my first post chemo treatment blood test. Not a good result. My white blood cell were down off the chart and I was put on a shot to boost them back to normal. I cannot tell you how lousy I felt. This particular shot gives some folks horrible bone pain, I was lucky that I only had that for a day..but what a day it was. On the third day the next blood test proved that I had mended quite well and I've started to feel better. So it seems I will have 2 yucky weeks and 1 good week. Hey that's better than all of them being bad right?
At the moment I'm feeling pretty good and hoping that Hubby notices. He has been getting very down about the way I feel and my lack of energy to do almost anything. I may even cook dinner tonight for the family! That will be great.
I may even venture to art class this week. Hopefully I will be lucky to have chemo treatment 2 be easier on me.
Everyone has been helpful, I feel badly that I complain but I know I do...one of the not so great character traits I've inherited I think.
I think I will take some of the advice posted here. Perhaps forgetting about the cancer for a day will be healing :) Thank you D~

#3,
You remain in my thoughts and prayers. I am sorry this has been such a difficult year for you (understatement?) but hope there are brighter days ahead. Sometimes we have to muddle through what has been sent to us one day, even one hour at a time. W
