Hi! What a great day I have had today. I woke up, went to church- heard a fantastic message, hugged lots of people I love, played with my son outside and inside, visited with mom and stepdad, had a good dinner and conversation with my husband, ate girl scout cookies, and flat out enjoyed the day feeling good! :):)
Monday morning (2/27) at 9:15am is chemo treatment number 6! This is the final one of this round- being the Adriamyacin (red devil are what the nurses call it) and Cytoxen. :) My next treatment will be in a couple of weeks begin Round 2: Taxotere for 12 weeks, once per week. Hair loss and fatigue will continue, but sounds like it will be a bit easier than this first round, and maybe no nausea? :)
Thank you for your prayers, love and support! I am so thankful. I know its been a process. You have stuck by me with your support. Its easy to slack, but you haven't. Thank you.
Wait...I have five more minutes!
"Welcome to Amanda's five minutes. Thanks for spending this time with me as we go through a series of treatments and surgeries to kick the butt of Breast Cancer...why 5 minutes? I always need five more minutes to clarify a conversation, to make my point, to drive to an appointment, to grocery shop. I live in that 5 minutes close call on being almost too late but almost always on time! Now, every next five minutes is the survival of my life. This is about a transformation of priorities, a journey of God meeting me in the middle, laughing as I go, and learning how to relax and get well. I just got a knock at the door, guess what my response was...Five more minutes!"
Will be saying an extra prayer for you this morning! Behind you all the way!
ReplyDeleteMandy,
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a day of reprieve before tackling your next round. Hopefully, your chemo treatment went well and it is a mild dose of whatever the "red devil" is going to throw at you. Positive vibes are being sent to you from me.
Love,
Connie
