Round 3 begins Monday 8/16. Some of you may not know...because I never really made this clear on my blog...but I am going to the Cancer Center at St. Joseph Hosp in Kokomo for my treatments now. The Dr thought I handled it well enough when I was at St. Vincent (for round 1) that he said I could have the remainder of my treatments in Kokomo. The best part about that is that I can go home at the end of each day. The week goes pretty much like this: I go in Monday, they draw blood, I see the Dr, then they give me fluids only. Tuesday through Friday I go in about 9AM, they give me some fluids first, followed by pre-chemo drugs (anti-nausea, etc.), followed by chemo drugs, followed by more fluids, and then I can go home (typically about 3PM).
I'm feeling pretty well today- of course it's the middle of my "week 3" right now so that's when I feel best. But I'm trying to enjoy what's left of that feeling...trying to do normal things during the next several days, and trying to get myself mentally pumped up to start another round.
We're moving Lindsey to her apt in Lafayette this weekend, so that should be fun and the time will probably go by fast.
Thanks for reading.

Now that Lindsey is going to be at school are you going to need extra help? I am MORE than happy to help out! I can take you to your treatments and sit with you, I can take you home and help out there too. Please, just let me know what I can do :)
