September 13th

Where does the time go? The week following my chemo was not the best. I pretty much slept the week away while trying to deal with the nausea and mouth and skin issues. Thankfully the side effects have gone away and last week was a pretty good week. I saw my oncologist last week and he's agreed that my side effects were pretty severe so they are going to cut my chemo back by 20%. He also did a blood test to see if I'm missing an enzyme that helps break down the chemo. I'll know more when I start my next round next week. Right now, I'm feeling good so this should be a good week. Hopefully the next go around is better!

My mom is home. She's doing remarkably well considering how she was doing. We went to breakfast yesterday and then to the grocery store. She was beat by the time we got home, but I was so happy to see her up walking and feeling like her normal self. Thank you for all the prayers... they did their job!

My aunt and uncle are coming thru KC today. They are heading south for the winter. They are Winter Texans. Wish I could go. It will be great to see them as always!
