Three to Go

I have three more chemo treatments to Go. The next one is Monday, Nov. 14. My last one will be in mid-December. Hopefully by Christmas, I'll be feeling well enough to actually enjoy the Holiday.

This has been a bit tougher than I was expecting. This time around with the combination of new drugs, I am experiencing a lot of bone and muscle pain and a constant, dull headache. It makes me feel nervous about the next time around, because the effect seems to be cumulative, so there's a good chance of it getting worse each time.

Yes, I am whining, and I admit it. I was not prepared for the fatigue and boredom, or this level of pain. I would love to project the brave face, but I am being worn down daily, and don't have the energy to be cheerful about it. My whole life is on hold and there's not a whole lot I can do about it. SO for now, that's the status.

Love to all,

Mary
