Now I am finishing day 30 out of 65 with 2 chemotherapy sessions under my belt as it were and realized that I am almost halfway done (well for the scheduled sessions)and I wanted to share with you all that you do keep learning about things as you go through this process. You learn that some reactions take a week to set in, unusual but there they are all the same; you learn that you don't react the way you think you should when sales people call and keep you on the phone past their appointed minute, why did I take that call anyway? I must train these guys here to ask more questions and be protective or else they get the same reaction those sales calls do! You learn that not everything is the same or happens at the same time as last time does this become monotonous or not? I guess not, your body reacts and then you choose to work thru it or just "block and tackle" as one of my cousins is so good to point out. All in all I think my "side effects" are consistent with most everyone else.
I am doing fine, less energy, more time to read, playing cards, looking for something funny on the television, trying to get out and walk on "strong" days (I have to do something), people are coming by to visit and I truly love to see people, it is starting to get warm here finally, the boys did tell me that I should go "rogue" and be bald I can carry it off, what do you think? That's all for now, I have a wedding this weekend still trying to figure out if I will be Carmen Miranda or a bag lady!
Hugs, Debi
