Hi everyone.
My second "break" week I went to San Diego for a sales meeting and had a great week. I felt wonderful. My friend Sarah came back home with me for the weekend and we went to Bucktail for an absolutely awesome weekend. I felt great the whole week.
Last week was the first treatment of Round 3. Dr Welt was really pleased with my progress. We talked about having the port removed and what comes next. I had to get the two ProCrit shots as my hematacrit was a little low - but nothing really bad. I felt pretty awful on Wed and Thur - it was over 100 degrees here on Thur so I didn't really mind staying in the air conditioned camper. By Saturday I was feeling a little better - worked at the Wacky Water Works games and went to my 30th High School Reunion that nite. It was a lot of fun to see so many friends that I hadn't seen in so long.
Yesterday was the second treatment of Round 3. Didn't have to see the Dr this week so got in and out pretty quickly. Ashley Smith stayed with the boys so they didn't have to go home and they enjoyed a little more time at Bucktail. I am going to get a Neulasta shot right now as my white count was down to 2.0 which is not TOO bad but not good either.
We have one more treatment - ONE MORE. Then I see the Radiation Oncologist on 9-7 (our 5th wedding anniversary) to discuss what the plan is for my second round of treatment. I should begin that part of the treatment about 2 weeks after that.
I am so excited to be this close to being done -- YEAH. The boys and Rob are excited as well. I am hopeful that I won't be too sick this week or next.
I am sure that all of your thoughts and prayers have kept me going this whole time. March 28 seems like so very long ago - the day of my first chemo. You all have kept me strong. Thanks for all of that - and for all of your love. B
