Chemo Round 4- June 30th

I had my last "AC" chemo session today. I feel like crap, but Dr. King was cheering so it must be a good thing. These two “AC” drugs are some of the big daddy drugs of Chemo treatment. My next 4 sessions will only be one drug Taxol, and I should have an easier time, again according Dr. King. Whew, can't wait!

Since I just had this 4th round yesterday, I don’t know exactly what to expect, but I anticipate it may go like the last. I usually don’t feel too bad on the day of treatment, but yesterday I felt extremely tired after, and came home and slept for several hours which was a little different than previous sessions. Some of the continued fatigue may have come from my blood counts going down a little after round 3. But as the nurses said, I'm still within a safe range to get another round of Chemo.

The great news is I’m half way through my Chemo treatments, which is cause to celebrate. I’ll do that next week on vacation with family at Izaty’s Resort on Lake Mille Lacs. The doctor thought that would be a great way to recover from this last session. I may have to make plans at the end of chemo in August.

I'm also sorry if your summer feels like it’s going by too fast with this weekend being the 4th of July which is often considered the middle of summer; this would be my fault. I've been praying for the summer of 2011 to fly by. When it's over, I'm done with this crazy treatment.

Continued thanks for the love and care so many are sharing with me. Giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe; it’s the abundance of this that keeps the energy flowing in me.
