Chemo Round #5 Update

Night 3 was a rough one, l but feel great now! No nausea, no real fatigue and no heart palpitations that I felt on the first 4 rounds of F.A.C. This new stuff seems to be way harder on me for 24 hours, where the other stuff made me feel "blah" for about 5 days. The cough, runny nose, acne and bloodshot eyes that are lingering are a nuisance but stuff I can live with...

I'm scheduled for my 6th round on April 5th. I'm also scheduled for surgery on May 30th. I'm excited to get to the next phase of treatment but also a bit anxious on the challenges it will bring. Keeping my fingers crossed that I stay on schedule!

3 left!!! After April 5th you will only have 2! You have handled it all so gracefully. Only the outside at least ;) You always have a smile on your face and a positive attitude. I am always impressed with how you seem to keep it all together when I know inside you probably want to scream from the top of your lungs. You make it look easy (knowing it is definitely NOT). You don't think of yourself as brave or a hero, etc. I DO though! Bravery is putting on a happy face even when you want to run away. It is putting aside your insecurities to fight for yourself. It is keeping your normal routine and commitments even when you feel broken and weak. I see a BRAVE woman. I see strength. I know MY definition of a hero is someone willing to fight no matter what. Someone who puts aside their pain for someone else and their needs. Someone with perseverance. Definition by the way...steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. You keep on kicking ass!!! I love you friend.
