Hi everyone!
First of all, let me apologize for letting so much time lapse between blog updates.
I had my second treatment on Dec. 6 and the aftermath was nowhere near as bad as the first time, thank goodness. I made a conscious decision to not give in so much to the fatigue, a little mind-over-matter if you will. But I imagine it was mostly due to you and all your prayers! THANK YOU!
Don't get me wrong, I didn't feel great, but I was able to function much better during the day and just crash early every night. I even played two tennis matches within a week of treatment, something I couldn't even come close to doing the first time!
Next up was a repeat heart scan to see if my heart function was doing ok. It has dropped a bit, but not enough to consider discontinuing treatment at this point. I will go to see a cardiologist next week for continued monitoring, but I was very relieved to be able to receive my third treatment this past Friday. I really wanted to get to No. 3 because of our plan to do a scan after three treatments to see if we are making any progress against the beast.
I will have my scan on Friday, Jan. 10, so please pray as hard as you can for a good, positive result and some sign that the meds are working!
As always, thank you for all your support and prayers. We couldn't do this without you.
Love,
M
