At Chemo

Published by at 11:45 am under Cancer Details

I am at chemo as I write this. I saw Dr. Ellis last Wednesday and he was pleased at how I was doing. Right now they are checking my blood counts to make sure everything is ok and I do not need any blood.

The office is extremely quiet this week. It may be because I got here so early. There is no one yet in my cubicle to chat with yet.

The doctor told me, as I may have mentioned before, that I am on the meds that I am on because the first drug of choice was already used on me for my bone cancer in 2006. It is unusual, so the medical team recommended the that I take 6 rounds of this chemo instead for the 4 that is normal for patients on these drugs (Taxotere and Cytoxen).

I am starting to get drowsy.

    So after leaving your office i am talking to my mom and she says “did you get to see OUR GIRL today”. it was soooo cute. I told her no that you were having 4th treatment today and she said ‘How odd is that when she prayed for you this morning and didnt even know your treatment was scheduled.’

    I am so proud of you for doing so wonderful.
    Lots of hugs and kisses from us to you,

    Gwen
