Yesterday's chemo infusion went well with no problems to report. I will be on the anti-nausea drug for a couple of days and the prednisone for 5 days. The side effects of those are poor sleep and a slight headache. But that is not much to handle. I have noticed that I am more aware of side effects and that helps me to be able to deal with them before they become a problem. I can feel my throat being a little sore, so am gargling with salt and soda water already.
Last night I was able to go to the church for a Relief Society Dinner. It was so nice to visit with friends. And I loved the fun holiday tradition ideas that were shared. There are such creative people who come up with the most fun things. There is also a young lady in our ward that is a music major specializing in Opera. She has the most beautiful soprano voice and last night she sang for us Ave Maria and O Holy Night. So beautiful!
Today is going well too. I felt good enough to go to the gym and walk 2 miles on the treadmill. And do some house cleaning.
I am looking forward to having our two California daughters here this weekend! Before we knew about the cancer, we had hoped to take a trip out there this fall . So I am really glad that they are coming to visit. We'll have to make a road trip out to see them and their families after my last treatment sometime.
Today I am thankful for:
-The drugs that kill this cancer and the drugs that help deal with side effects.
-The way that my body is able to handle these treatments!
-Wonderful family and friends that check up on me and keep me in their prayers.
-Prayers, because I can really feel the strength they give me.
