Round one is done

I’ve learned so much in such a short time. Thank you to college friends, Kathy, Tina and Julie for their love and support last week as it wasn’t easy. Navigating new meds, side effects, pain and fatigue was daunting. I feel much more prepared for the next round. In many ways I’m looking at this as a pregnancy: the outcome won’t be a beautiful baby, but the blessing of remission! Let me explain: The side effects include extreme fluctuations in body temperature, my taste and smell sensations change- sometimes several times per day, my abdomin is a bit swollen, plus I’m tired, achy and having difficulty sleeping.That sounds pretty familiar to many moms😊.

I will have between 3-6 chemo treatments prior to surgery. PLEASE PRAY for the number 3. Although I will do whatever it takes- the less suffering the better. I spent a cozy snow day indoors, rocking to my favorite Christian tunes. Stay safe everyone.
