chemo sucks!

This post is long overdue, I know, I have left many of you hanging, sorry. It's only been a few day since I feel that I have the energy and focus to type. With each day I have felt better since my release from the hospital on May 31st. The first few days I had extreme nausea, then unbelievable fatigue, and all the while stomach cramps and a digestive system that couldn't quite pull it together.

Now just two day before I go in for my second round I am feeling the best I have, not perfect but okay. The last few days I have taken short walks around the neighborhood, its been such beautiful weather, and the flowers are breath taking! The plan is to go into the hospital early on Wednesday and be out by Sunday. In some ways I think it will be easier this time just because I know how to "work' the system, which med to ask for and when, and certainly the transition home will be easier, I now Know that I take the nausea meds whether I feel nauseous of not, big mistake last time not staying on top of that!.

Finally, I have the best group of friends and family EVER! I have been surrounded with the most loving, informed and caring group of people and each and every one of them have gone the extra mile to help me with whatever....holding throw up buckets, driving to appointments, delivering meals, keeping me company, I could go on and on. You guys rock!

Abby is off to Camp Kesem, the "cancer" camp, this week and having the time of her life as she has for the past 2 summers, she is home on Sunday.

Visitors in the hospital are welcome, just call before you come.
