I have been meaning to get on here and update my blog for a while....but I've had a rough time lately. I guess the more chemo you do it builds up in your system and it takes longer to feel better....which, when I thought about it, makes a lot of sense....just never had to think about it until now! :)
I finished my 3rd round of chemo....only 1 more left! Radiation is over now too! I don't have a another dr appt until the 19th and am supposed to start my final round of chemo on the 20th. I am so thankful for the break...I was seriously considering opting out of the last chemo...that's how bad I have felt. Chemo is a very rotten and brutal thing to go through, but it's not as bad as you see on T.V. When I first started I was terrified that I was going to be bed ridden for months and sick all the time....don't get me wrong, there are days that I
just lay around a feel rotten and I only get sick once I am finished with the round of chemo. Sounds crazy...you'd think you'd be sick during....I'm just really tired during and have LOTS of hot flashes. The hot flashes are HORRIBLE!!! It's probably a combination of the hysterectomy and the chemo. I am just so ready for all of this to be OVER! There is so much sickness going around right now....so many people have cancer. I am so thankful that mine isn't worse than it is and they are telling me that I am going to be ok. I can't imagine only prolonging my life. I pray every day for the people and families that are affected by cancer.
I have been thinking about Relay for Life this year....I'm excited to go and wear my tshirt and walk with PRIDE. I am proud of myself for making it through this...well, almost. I really want to have a celebration when I'm done....everyone wearing their shirts!!!! What great pictures that would be!
Oh....by the way....I felt great during Christmas and New Year's....thank you all for the things you have done for me and my family. Meals, gifts, donations, phone calls, text messages, cards....most importantly the prayers.....it all has meant so very much to me and I will never be able to express the thanks and appreciation I have in my heart for you all. God certainly has a way of making things a little brighter when you just rely on Him. I am so blessed!!!!
Love to you all!!!
So proud of you and the strength you have shown throughout this entire journey. Even on your bad days, you were still joking and positive. I love you very much and I am so grateful that this is almost over....for your sake, and ours (LOL)
