Good news! I survived treatment number one. I knew that it wouldn't be too bad. Now I just wait it out to see what the side effects will be. Most likely I will just be tired and loose my hair. My white blood cells will probably drop a little bit, but hopefully not like they did last time! Pray that they are up high enough so I don't have to stay home from school.
I have been taking a steroid twice a day starting yesterday. It has really effected me. I was Miss Motor-Mouth today. Mike was laughing at me today because I was talking his ears off. I finally slowed down a little bit after I got some benedryl at the doctor's office. It didn't put me to sleep, which is what it usually does.
There has been a little change in how these treatments are going to run. I am going to have three weeks of chemo and then a week off. Then start a second round of three weeks on and one week off. Most likely after that second batch I will go for a CT scan to make sure that the chemo is shrinking the tumors. The nurse said, assuming that the tumors shrink, I will just keep getting the chemo until they are non-existant. Then I will stop and see what happens.
Please pray that this chemo works and that the negative side effects are minimal. Thank you!
More to come later in the week...I am going to take the dogs for a walk and enjoy the warmer weather!
With love, Sheri
