February 7, 2013, Second Round

    Second day of a 2 day regime. Yesterday was fairly uneventful. Almost exactly 4 hours in duration...as scheduled. Felt very good for the remainder of the day. Slightly fatigued but nothing to be concerned about. Now the night was a different story. In keeping with tradition there was no sleep to be had (at least very minimal) this night, at least very minimal. This was the same thing after the first treatment. Was this the Chemo? Was it stress. Who knows.

    The no sleep problem has been resolved. It is caused by a pre treatment medication. apparently gets the body revved  up, and it takes some time to come back down. Could be the same thing tonight. All I can say is that the Home Shopping Network is on 24 hrs.......hide the credit card. LOL

DING DING DING : End of Round 2. Everyone back to their corners.

Feb 5, 2013 Take what we get!

In a pre chemo therapy appointment today, there was some good news. Now when I say good news, it was information from the doctor and it wasn't bad news. Through an exam he was unable to detect a lymph node that was enlarged and noted during my very first exam. Not spectacular......but we'll take it and run.

Chemo round 2 tomorrow. Hopefully the days after are as relatively uneventful as the first. Would it be believable to say that I'm kind of looking  forward to it? Well, in a strange way I am. It's another step in the journey, another step in getting well, and living life everyday.

Again I will have a spectacular partner by my side. Since day one we have always said we are in this together and we have.

 Thanks to everyone for your messages and well wishes.
