Hi all,
So I'm sort of on a little "chemo vacation"...that is, a vacation from chemo. Because my next round was due to start on Sept 6th, but that's Labor Day, so Barb (nurse) said "we'll just wait another week". That was good news to me. Though I want to get it all over with, after last week I needed a break - mentally at least. I pulled away from the hospital on Monday relishing the idea that I had nearly 3 full weeks before another round starts - and I should feel pretty good for most of that time.
The blood transfusion was good for me - I was able to go back to work on Wednesday of this week and I worked the remainder of the week...and I plan to work full-time for the next 2 weeks as well. I'm also hoping that this will give my middle some time to heal...because I still have a lot of discomfort in my incision/surgery area. You would think that it's been long enough, but I can only guess that the chemo is preventing the normal amount of healing to happen.
I'm also happy to say that my interest in life is returning. :) I'm thinking about going out with my camera tomorrow and playing around. Just a warning...that means you'll probably have to endure some photos in my next post!
Thanks for all the cards and well-wishes that keep on coming. Have a great weekend and thanks for reading.
Love, Susan
