I usually don't sleep much the night before chemo. I got about 4.5 hours of sleep, which is better than usual. My side effects seem to be minimal at this point. I am happy with the grace that has been given in this. Its one of those things that hit me over the last week or so. I have not had issues with weight loss, inability to eat, extreme lack of energy. This is truly grace over the last 5 months. It hit me that it could be so much worse. So, with this realization, now I am encouraged to do more from my old normal in my new normal.
Today is 2 month surgery follow up with surgeon, Dr. AJ from Central Baptist. I am also seeing Oncologist, Dr. Harper today. Her appts are every 2-3 weeks now, though I am going in for chemo every Monday now. I pray that these appoitments continue to bring the message of healing and progress. I have a couple of concerns with soreness and side effects that I will be discussing. Nothing major.
Thank you for checking in. Girls, go get your Annuals and your Mammograms! Boys, you pay attention too! My friend's father was diagnosed with breast cancer. Stay aware of your bodies, go to doctor to get your checks done! Men- don't not do this, especially with prostate, colon and all that you really need to have checked.
Here is my pic for the day.
Love you all!
