It's Monday and I am looking forward to my week off of chemo treatments. Since my last post I have started an oral chemo schedule in addition to the intraveneous sessions. I wasn't sure what to expect, and had heard of some awful complications that can result from these pills, but have pleasantly experienced none of them! The only effect so far is I am very tired. I went to the doctor today because my porticath was dislodging. They fixed the problem and hopefully it will heal in the next couple of days.
We had a great weekend celebrating our niece's and nephew's birthdays. All the family came over on Saturday and my sister provided lunch for everyone. Natalie and Jordan were in from Elkton and spent the whole weekend with us!
My oncologist thinks it will be the first of 2010 before I go to Duke for the stem cell harvesting. That should give me 4-5 rounds of chemo beforehand. It is a long road, but promising! We are thankful for all of you who pray for our family. It is in these times that we realize what matters the most!

Fran, I just loved hearing your sweet voice when I called 2nd Helpings yesterday. Great to talk to you :) I wish I had asked about how your hands are doing. When I told Drew about talking to you, she asked about them, so I thought this would be a good place to ask.
ReplyDeleteI loved catching up on you by reading your blog...especially loved the photos. Blessings and love,
