The Chemotherapy treatment is going alright. The first day was really tough. I just wish it was all over...I'm pretty much sick to my stomach everyday, which - let me tell you is getting quite old, quite fast.
I'm still going to school and work. I'm really not taking breaks from regular life because of this stuff... Work is really, really, really busy. I'm working on a project - which is tough, but it's going to help make some people in the company (ie higher up mngmnt) realize that I am very serious about the company. (I'm not sure that I really am, but it's good to appear that way in this economy - ya know?)
So...lots of stuff going on around here. My oral Chemo is a pain, as I said. I haven't started radiation yet. Honestly, not sure if I am going to right now. DR isn't convinced about it anymore, because my blood work is coming back every week showing lowering levels - so...maybe I won't need to undergo radiation yet? At any rate, she doesn't want to start it yet. I am supposed to have another round of the IV Chemo on December 14th. The week of Decembe 7th is my REST WEEK. That means no chemo...oral chemo even. So, that's good news! I did however, find out that I was anemic. (yea, my red blood cell count is really low) DR is afraid if it continues to drop at the rate that it is we may be discussing blood and platelet transfussions. While we're not at that point right now...it's still an option in future.
Right now, I'm just taking things day by day. I'm trying to reach deeper into myself to find who I am. In this situation, in the last month or so, I have found a deeper and closer relationship with the Lord. Through all of this, He is my strength. I couldn't do half of the things that I am doing now if it weren't for Him - for my faith.
Hope, Faith, and Love...that's what there is and what it's all about...
