3 treatments to go!!! Yeah!

I haven't updated my blog (and never got around to starting that new one). I've been feeling very rough lately and haven't had the energy to update as much. I've been considering the day a "success" if I don't spend the whole day/night in bed!! Yesterday, I spent most of the day in bed and finally gave up at 7:00, took a benadryl, and went to bed for the night. Today is the best day I've had in awhile. I attibute a lot of it to seeing my acupuncturist this afternoon. She has really helped me in managing my side effects, especially the headaches. After I see her, they are gone for about a week! I have a lot of weakness in my legs and feel SO incredibly fatigued every day. And, the lovely flu-like symptoms are just so much fun... they typically hit me late afternoon- early evening. But, the GOOD news... only THREE treatments to go and then we're headed to Florida... Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Sea World, the SPA (just Todd and I, of course), the pool, and most importantly, lots of warm weather and relaxation! :) I'm not going to start my shots until I get back from our trip, so I'm SO looking forward to having the week off! The shots will be half of my current dosage, three times a week. I will do the shots before bed, so hopefully, I sleep through the side effects. I don't know what I will do being away from UW Hospital for a whole week! Since my surgery, in December, I have been at the doctor, for a follow-up appt., random doctor's visits, scans, lab work, physical therapy, radiation treatment, or chemo clinic, almost every single day!! I can't wait to wake up in the morning and NOT have to drive to the hospital!!! I promise that I will be spending some mornings bumming around in my pajamas with my coffee, for sure!

So, right now, my focus is on getting through these last 3 treatments and then time to CELEBRATE!!! :)
