I can't believe how quickly time flies when your having fun! I had my chemo on Thursday of last week so I am down to 7 more. Tomorrow I go for another one. This last week was a little rough. I found out that the reason my joints hurt so bad is because I am allergic to the Taxol. The Taxol they are giving me to kill the cancer..of course..every other weird thing that can go wrong or happen has happened to me during this journey, so why not be allergic to the stuff that is trying to help me kill this crap. LOL!! I also found out that I have a hernia on my belly button, most likely from all the crap I went through when I first had my mastectomy. I had a CT scan this morning to see how big it is. I should find out tomorrow when/if I am going to have to have surgery. Went to my Cardiologist today too. Had a Sonogram, Ultrasound and stress test today. Everything came back great! Thank God, sure didn't need anything else going on :-)
Matt met with the advocate from Wonders & Worries. His name is Ali. The program helps kids who have a parent going through some sort of catastrophic illness. Matt really liked it and said he wished he could go longer than 6 weeks!! Hard to believe Matt wants to do anything like that, let alone for more than 6 weeks. Definitely makes me feel better about our decision to let him participate.
Devan is coming home this weekend!! Can't wait.
Overall, having a good week..family is all good, no one else is sick. Thank you Jesus!! I will update sooner next time :-)
Still Smiling!!
