Chemo Week

Yesterday was day one of chemo round 4. I am more than half way done with my chemotherapy now and I cannot wait to be fully done.

Mondays aren't too bad, they pump me full of anti-nausea drugs that make me sleepy, so that is nice. Unfortunately I woke up this morning feeling nauseous. I haven't had that symptom so early in my week before. UGH! They do say it all the treatments tend to build up on eachother. The only thing that I have noticed with that is that some of the side effects are stronger, start earlier, and last longer. Over all they haven't been too bad, so I really have nothing to complain about.

This morning I go back to the doctors office for day two of chemo. When I am done there, they admit me to the hospital because I will get another treatment at midnight. Oh the joys! Honestly, it isn't bad. The nurses on 5N are wonderful and for some reason I think they like it when I come up to spend the night with them!

School starts this week. The teachers have an institute day on Friday and then kids start on Monday. Unfortunately, I will not be able to teach the first week of school because my white blood cell count will most likely be very low. But, my goal is to be strong and teaching the 2nd week! I am really looking forward to it! I know that summer has flown by, but I am ready to be back at school. It beats what I have been doing all summer.

Hope all is well with all of you!
