Summer 2005
Thanks to everyone for all the calls, cards, thoughts and prayers as I started my chemo last week. For those of you who called and did not get a call back, I apologize. I am just today feeling like I can fully function.
Good cancer news:
-- My full-body scan to check for breast cancer tumors elsewhere in my body was clear!
-- I'm done with the first round of "icky" chemo, A/C.
-- I still have hair.
-- I lost six pounds.
Bad cancer news:
-- The chemo hit me much harder than I had (naively, I suppose) expected. I had the infusions on Thursday, and was pretty much useless from Thursday night to Monday afternoon.
-- Three more rounds of A/C to go. And now that I know how bad it is, I'm dreading it even more.
More good cancer news:
-- Feeling so bad must be good because it means the chemo drugs are working. (Twisted, huh?)
-- They have lots of lovely drugs I can try next time to help me deal with above-mentioned anxiety, which would otherwise most likely make my symptoms worse.
-- Todd is a superhero.
As you can see, more good news than bad news to report. I plan on going wig shopping this week. Next chemo is Wednesday, July 20.
Love to all,
Michelle
