Well, its been 2 weeks since the last chemo treatment. We now know how to identify the side effects - 'chemo brain', sleeping like a baby a the drop of a hat, feeling like your living in a fog. There are some 'good days' (relatively speaking) and then there are the other times when its not so good.
Monday we see the oncologist for the first time since the chemo started. We have some 'fear' because we have lots of questions now after a month of the chemo. What's really going on? Am I getting better or worse? Or are we in a holding pattern? What about life expectancy? I have some choices to make that are going to be customized to the answer to that question. What about quality of life? I feel like a shriveled up prune.
Oh - and now I have to contend with a right foot that just quit working properly after the chemo started. What's up with that? It droops - evidently there is some nerve damage - and if I don't watch it closely I'll do a face plant on the floor. Actually - I did one tonight when we had company. Not cool. But nothings broke.
We've had lots of company - and that is so neat. We enjoy people and visiting is always fun.
So stay tuned - I'll try to get the blog updated after we get some answers tomorrow. I expect I'll have another round of chemo starting Tuesday and you all know by now what that means - I'll be out of commission for awhile. Thanks for all the emails - if I don't get back to you right away its not because I don't want to - I just don't seem to be able to 'drive' like I used to.
