Sadly, this is a very anti-climatic post. Everything is status quo. My last chemo-cocktails, Vincristine & Bleomycin, went great. As expected, I had mild nausea and flu-like symptoms late that night. Everything was gone by morning. Reducing the amount of Prednisone was fantastic news to me. Hopefully, this will reduce the weird sensations, comparable to that of Restless Leg Syndrome, in my own legs. The tingling & lack of sensation in my fingertips has increased from the Chemo, resulting in numerous typos. When I find them my internal monologue is says, “Me fail English, that’s unpossible.”
My nurse Terri. Seriously, look at what she's required to wear before pushing my drugs.
Every week I go in for treatment, I’m always the youngest patient there. I’m not certain how I feel about this. My age probably explains part of why I haven’t been hard hit with the standard side effects (at least that’s what I’m telling myself.) I do like the way my Oncologist gets so excited about my progress and pinches my chipmunk-cheeks as I walk out the door. Makes me feel like I’m six years old again & I can’t help but smile.

This was April 1 in Utah, I'm not joking either.
No news IS good news, especially when the news has been so good up til now. We're both on the countdown now--just a few more weeks. And not to brag, but it was 95 degrees here yesterday. (OK--I'm bragging just a little. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, no news is good news! You have kicked Marla's ass & she is on her way out for good. I know I have told you in the past, but you are the most AMAZING person I know & I am so proud that you are one of my very best friends! Can't wait to see you on Saturday, I have a little Jack Sparrow to give you :) I love you!
ReplyDeleteCrazy Utah weather!!
ReplyDeleteI figured that no news is good news and it's great to have that confirmed. Thinking about you all the time. Keep it up...Marla is well on her way out, if she isn't already.
