Round 8

It's been three days since I finished my 8th round of chemo. I can't believe the difference. From Monday through Thursday after finishing a treatment, I have had to go to the clinic and get fluids for dehydration. Because they have discontinued one of my chemo drugs I'm feeling better. I was able to go on a drive to Medford on Saturday and didn't feel too bad. I was a bit tired. Today my equilibrium is a little off but my legs don't feel like noodles. I feel a little hazy but not too bad. It's such a blessing not to be in bed all day!!!! Hopefully treatment 9 & 10 will be the same. I can handle it.
I'm still continually amazed by friends and family who keep encouraging me through their phone calls, cards, emails and flowers. A friend from work even gave us a cute little Maltese puppy that is bringing alot of laughter to our family. I'm humbled by their kindness and care. I will never forget this experience and hope to always be comforting to those going through similiar circumstances. Nobody can describe the emotional rollcoaster you go through. Sometimes we have to taste the bitter to appreciate the sweet. In the midst of this trial there was been a lot of sweet! I see the hand of the Lord in my life daily and that's a wonderful blessing to know I'm not alone.
