Two to Go!

I had a review of my case at the Oncologist. I explained the pain I was in last time, and so they decided to decrease the dosage of the chemo drug this time. On Monday I had chemo, and felt OK afterwards and on Tuesday I got the shot for my immune system. I felt quite like myself, for the first time in months, so I got out of the house and did some errands, and spent some time with Sandy.

Today, I am still doing well, but a bit achey. It is tolerable, and I worked around my house, sitting frequently when my hips would get sore. I have not had to take the pain meds or the steroids yet, and I consider that a good sign. Last session, I was in a good deal of pain at this point on Wednesday, so I am happy to say that is not the case this week.

I have two more chemo sessions to go...on the 28th of Nov. and on Dec. 12th, and then I'm DONE with chemo!!! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. That is so encouraging to me! Then I have to wait two weeks after the end of chemo and will start radiation.

But just one step at a time. I am so grateful to be feeling as well as I do for the time-being.
Thanks for all your prayers and good thoughts.

Love to all!

Mary
