Where, oh where does the time go? I cannot believe it's already May 5th. To anyone out celebrating Cinco de Mayo, I am SO jealous! Cannot wait until I can resume a halfway normal lifestyle! Having cancer is defnitely time consuming. Daily it's doctors, labs, appointments, naps, doctors, labs, appointments, naps, etc, etc. I like the afternoon naps. I think our parents where on to something when we all got daily naps and snacks without it seeming unusual.
I found out for certain that I finish up chemo next Tuesday and radiation on Wednesday. Can't believe I am on the downhill side of this pre-operative chemo and radiation. I felt like the sky opened and a light descended yesterday when I was getting the news from my doctors. Besides the port thing and a few side effects, I have pretty much sailed thru this without extreme difficulty. I crack up because my team is constantly saying I am "sure perky". Following this pre-operative stuff, I have a 6 week resting period before surgery. The reason for this is to let my body get back on track and the cancer cells continue to die for 6 weeks following the last radiation treatment. Fingers crossed the surgery goes off with out a hitch.
Nothing much else going on... just counting down the days. Again, thanks for all your prayers and well wishes.
Take care!
Jenny
