Relief........even if it's temporary

Oh how I appreciate when I start coming out of the "chemo cloud" as I call it. When I woke up today I quickly took inventory. No nausea, dizziness, extreme fatigue and my legs are not shaky when I walk. I'm still having problems with my intestinal tract but hey I'll take it over the other side effects. I can think clearly and was actually hungry. It's WONDERFUL to have a few days of relief from the effects of chemo. I actually got on my treadmill and walked three miles. It's a cruel tease before they give you your next treatment. But I'm grateful for these precious days when I feel like I'm back amongst the living. I'm grateful, very grateful for these temporary reprieves that help me get ready mentally for the next round. I'm counting my blessings today.....naming them one by one.
