Just Checking In

Huge thank you to my husband, Kenn, for all his support!

I saw my oncologist last Thursday and discussed a few things. Due to swelling in my ankles, I need to wear compression socks. I will see the plastic surgeon on Jan 8th and schedule my surgery. Friday was chemo #4. Two more to go!

Post Chemo #3, Day Six

Thursday I went in and got some IV fluids. I was scheduled for it because of getting so dehydrated after my last chemo. About halfway through I could feel a difference. Afterwards, I felt a lot better. Still easily worn out but not nearly as bad as before. Things are looking up!! 😀 Thanks for your prayers and kind comments!!

Post-Chemo #3, day four

Well, it’s Tuesday night after chemo #3, I have been weak and nauseous since yesterday. I have meds that are keeping the nausea at bay for the most part. I’m thankful I’m not throwing up although I almost did yesterday. I’ve only left the bed to use the restroom. I’m feeling discouraged. I know God will get me through but have been thinking about how much more I have ahead of me. Please pray for me to get out of this funk. Thank you!

Halfway there!!!

Well today marks the halfway point in my chemo. I completed session 3 of 6. Everything went smooth, no allergies or side effects. However, when we were in Penrose visiting Kara & Tyler and the grands, Kara noticed a swollen spot near my port, just above the left clavicle. I asked my oncologist about it on Wednesday and she ordered an ultrasound to make sure there’s no clot there. I wasn’t able to get it scheduled until November 9, so we shall see. I will update later as the side effects roll in this next week. Honestly I am hoping I won’t have that many and that I will be able to be back to work by Wednesday-ish. Here are a few more pictures form the chemo session:

You can barely see but I was flushed from the steroid again. I guess this is to be expected for now.

My ever supportive hubby and I. He is the best!!!
