Hello friends,It's been a while since I have put anything on my blog. Partly due to computer issues (it's really hard to type on a little screen like the one on my phone) and partly because I have just been too tired. The longer I go through my course of treatment, the more things bother me. The more tired I am, the more I hurt. I know it's because of my low immune system. It will be fine.
I can't believe I have only 3 more chemo treatments left. 3 MORE!! I am excited about that. I think I have mentioned before that I am allergic to the current chemo medicine I am on, the Taxol. It makes my joints hurt really bad. I am okay for couple of days after the treatment, the steroids kind of keep the pain at bay, but once they wear off...I have to take pain pills to help. I know that everything will be okay, I am almost done with this and with God's loving support - I KNOW I will get through it.
I am going to see the Radio-Oncologist Thursday to determine how much Radiation I will have to have. My oncologist thinks it will probably be 6-7 weeks. I will have to go everyday. He also said I will have to wait about 3 weeks once I finish my chemo before I start the radiation. The radiation will bring a whole new group of possible side effects, but I say...BRING IT ON!! I want to get this over with.
We started decorating our house for CHRISTmas..not too much...mostly it's just the CHRISTmas tree and a few other little things. I am just to tired to put the other stuff up. So unless someone else is going to do it...I am on CHRISTmas strike! LOL! The most important thing is that we are together on CHRISTmas. The decorations won't make a difference one way or the other. If I have learned nothing else from this experience, it has been that there are more important things in life than decorations, and all the other commercial aspects of CHRISTmas....MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. Life is to short to worry about all the little things. The extra time I spend with someone I love is the most important gift I can give myself.
Have a great week family and friends!
Hugs,
Yolanda

"That that does not hurt us only makes us stronger" or something to that effect. God knows and sees your pain, but just don't loose sight of HIM. My prayer, which is one of many, is that you heal physically and spiritually. Write your experiences perhaps your destiny to document for others to learn by your experiences. God's blessings be with you and your family now and always.
Love ,
