10-5-14 Bum…ba bum…ba bum ba bum ba bum (JAWS theme)

Well, Chemo #5 (out of 6) is fast approaching. And I hear that sinister music pretty much all the time. It's kind of disheartening to just start to feel better and know you have to go in and feel crummy again.

Tuesday I will spend the day in the company of the chemo nurses.

This Chemo cycle has been a little tougher. While I haven't felt TERRIBLE, I haven't bounced back to feeling good. Tired, tired, tired. And my stomach is not feeling right. I shopped one day this week for an hour and fifteen minutes and about died!! I wasn't sure I would make it back to the car!! That shows you how tired I am--unable to shop!

Last weekend I got a bad case of self-pity and pretty much had to make sure I was hydrating--the tears just kept coming. That has passed, thankfully.

If you think of me, could you please pray:

That I wouldn't focus so much on what's coming up as just living today.

That next cycle would go a bit smoother--fast recovery.

That I would not get discouraged.

That every single cancer cell, every single cell that might turn into a cancer cell, would be killed by this chemo. (Actually, the chemo they are giving me does not kill the cancer. It messes with it's DNA making it unable to reproduce.)

I'll update later this week, when I have the energy to type again!  :)

Love,

Kitt.
