I think it is finally safe to say that I am halfway through chemo. I have 3 rounds down, 3 more to go. I still have chemo every three weeks. My next one is on January 5. This round hit me last Friday afternoon. By Saturday, I felt like I had the flu again. It…

I had my 3rd of 6 infusions on Monday. I am supposed to expect that the effects of this round will be more like round 2, which means I will start to feel lethargic this Thursday through Sunday, then I might have flu-like symptoms for a couple of days, and start to feel better after…

I got hit hard with flu-like symptoms yesterday. Body aches and sleepiness. I couldn’t stay awake. I was watching TV and would have to stop and nap frequently. I could barely even listen to my audiobook. Everything took so much effort. I have never experienced this kind of fatigue before! I slept in this morning…

I’m lethargic and have low energy. I’m getting wiped out pretty quickly after doing much of anything. But that said, things are much better than the last round. My stomach is acting better today. I’m not having an allergic reaction. My throat doesn’t hurt. No hives. I’ll take it! I have an echocardiogram tomorrow because…

I had round 2 of chemo on Monday. They gave me less of one of the meds in hopes I have a better response this time. I felt great yesterday. Today, I woke up with a sore throat similar to last time. I still plan to go to work because it’s not that bad yet.…

A common side effect of the chemo I am taking is hair loss. On Wednesday morning in the shower, my hair started coming out in chunks, right about when I was told it would. Jeff got out his razor and shaved my head for me. One of the teachers at our school surprised me today…

I’m feeling much better today. I hope this means I’m in for a good week. If you don’t hear from me on here for now, I’m getting stuff done and doing fun things before my next chemo treatment on 11/24. ❤️

I got clarification. I should have no problem hitting the threshold to get my benefits because as it turns out, I need to work X amount of hours in a school year, which started for me in August, versus a calendar year. And that actually, makes a lot of sense. ❤️

After using a steroid inhaler, my voice came back just enough for me to work yesterday morning. It is still not 100% but much improved. I work in a school office, so I need my voice in order to do my job. I really love my job. My coworkers put together this amazing gift basket…

This is a picture of me just before getting my port placed this morning. It went well and I’m doing okay as far as that goes. But for some unknown reason, I have lost my voice. I have no idea why. I wasn’t intubated when I was sedated. So I’m feeling better than I was…
