Cycle 2 Done!
Well as of Tuesday we are done with Cycle 2 of chemo. 6 sessions done 12 more to go. I won't lie to you that feels like a hell of a lot more to go. I hate going to chemo. I wake up every Tuesday and think and usually tell Josh...I'm just not gonna go today! But alas, I put my big girl pants on and go.
There's not much new or exciting to report. I have been feeling okay so far really just tired most days after I get home from work. We try to go on at least a mile a walk a day as staying active is what the doctor wants and well I used to work out all the time before this monster attacked so why stop now?
Honestly, the hardest part of this battle for me has been the mental part. I don't want to cry or be sad but it happens more than I am okay to admit. Sometimes I walk past a mirror in my house and am shocked at the woman looking back at me with the really thin, really short hair or the woman wearing the crazy thick highlighted wig....either way the reflection is a surprise! It's not that I forget that I have cancer but for some reason the mirror is just not my friend.
Speaking of friends....I do have some great ones that allowed my wonderful husband to have 2 weeks off from chemo and came and sat with me. Which with me sitting with me at chemo means watching me sleep and finding something to do to amuse themselves so thank you to Chase and Kristen for coming with me. I truly appreciate it more than I am able to express.
I do hope to write more and even get Josh to chime in sometime.
Thanks for being part of this journey with us!
Keep the prayers coming!
