Well, I am still feeling pretty good. Not AS good as I did yesterday, so I know the steroids are probably wearing off. I am a little draggy today, but I don't think it is chemo related. A friend of mine brought over the Twilight movies and we attempted to have a movie marathon but by 2am, and the end of the 2nd movie... I was done. LOL SO... I am sure its related to just not getting much sleep. I enjoyed it though and I can understand what all the fuss is about with those movies. Just in case anyone is wondering... I'm Team Edward. ;)
My cheeks have been a little flushed today and I've been a little hot. I think that is due to me dressing like Ralphie from the Christmas story (in the coat) this morning and then the weather warming up a little.. walking into a house that still had the heat on from last night... yeah, so THAT isn't chemo related either. (Funny how once you start on chemo... every little thing is magnified and you wonder if its a symptom of something)
I haven't had any stomach issues or nausea. I am taking my anti-nausea medicine BY THE CLOCK. And those that know me KNOW I hate swallowing pills. But, I'm doing it.
I got a little bit of bad news last night. My nurse practitioner called to check on me, and then let me know the results of my spine biopsy I had last week. It did show cancer in the bone. I figured that much, but was really hoping it wasn't. It doesn't change anything as far as treatment goes at this point. I was still a little upset by it, and then a dear friend of mine reminded me that the chemo has started, which is the most important thing. This news didn't come out of left field and I need to keep doing what I'm doing and fight like hell to get through this. (Thanks Tina....)
I have decided when the time comes, to have a double mastectomy. Some people suggested only having one removed, but why keep a ticking time bomb (in my mind, anyway) when I would rather get 'em both whacked and start over with a fresh new (PERKY) pair. I've heard that the double surgery isn't any worse than the single- so why not? lol
I am also making plans for when my hair starts to come out. I'll disclose those plans when the time comes. ;)
I appreciate everyone checking on me and I hope I'm not overdoing it with the blogs and FB posts. I don't want to cram all this cancer stuff down everybody's throat all the time. Its just easier to blog so everybody can see how I'm doing rather than answer 45 texts a day -- WHICH I DON'T MIND DOING. I am NOT complaining about everyone's concern... so please don't take it that way. LOL
I know I could not do this without everyone's support... so it really means a lot to me. Thank you.
