Winding down

August 11th was my 5th chemo....one more to go. This round was interesting because I had a new side effect to deal with, dizziness. I was dizzy all week. I even fell straight into a wall on Friday. I hit my head pretty hard but no bruising or cuts. Sunday the new side effects continued and I was sick to my stomach. I was vomiting all Sunday night. That REALLY sucked. On Monday, I thought I was good to go to work but still felt weak, so I left early and rested at home. Today, MUCH MUCH better.


And yes! My last chemo is on September 1st. I am so excited about it. I also met with my radiologist on Friday and he told me I will be getting a three week break before starting on radiation. This is great news, because radiation is Monday - Friday for 7 weeks. So far, the run down is this. On September 17th, I will be getting a CT scan and possible starting radiation the following Monday. The actually radiation procedure will last about 15 minutes but as I said before, everyday. That is going to get old really quick.

I will update you with the exact dates when I get them.


Okay, thank you again for all the kind words and prayers.
