I had round three of chemo yesterday and am heading back today for my white blood cell shot. Ouch. Anyway, I am doing much better. My blood work was all normal so I don't have to be on a low bacteria diet and I don't have to be a house prisoner. I am going to take it slow though. I am exhausted from lack of sleep because of the steroids and the nerves I get before the dose. The steroids keep me up and going and don't include much sleep. It is always like this for the three days surrounding the chemo. Tristyn starts school tomorrow, Bryann begins PCC next week from home in Pomona with her dad and Danielle is awaiting surgery for her cysts........... Will post more later about that. They all need a vacation from me so the timing of all this is good :-). My hair is still a fuzz of brown and gray with yellow highlights. Funny as heck. Um, one more dose on the 12th, then on to Radiation every day for six straight weeks. After that, five years of hormone block therapy. I should enjoy a deep voice, hopefully not a full mustache. Dorsey has been quite helpful and supportive so he is making life a lot easier through this transition. My friends and family have all been extremely awesome too. I am amazed because I never relied on their support really. I think through this, I either learned how selfish I truly was or how in my eyes, how self-sufficient I thought I was....... This is the best time of my life. Thank you family and friends, all my love. Later.
