Last week was a pretty good "feel good" week for me. My rash was better and my energy levels were up. Chemo went well last Friday, just two more to go.
I was told that this new round of chemo medicine would not be as bad. I am struggling with it. I was back in the Emergency Room on Wednesday night with fever, higher than the Oncologist preferred. Fortunately, my white blood counts were normal. It appears as though I am dealing with more side effects of the chemo or that I picked up a bug I cannot shake. My last real meal was 5 days ago and I am very run down. Reality set in when I looked in the mirror and could not see me. I know these side effects are cumulative, but I sure hope the last few weeks pass quickly.
Please continue to keep me (and my family) in your prayers. It is definitely a journey you only want to do once, if you have too. At 46, I honestly can say I had not idea what to expect. It's not easy!
