Session 10 @ 12

So yesterday started with a 7:30am Dr. visit to my endocrinologist, Dr. Victor Roberts. Due to all the chemo and meds my thyroid is outa wack and my diabetes is also extremely high 350 on chemo days. So my Dr. sat me down and made sure I knew that it was nothing that I was doing and that this will not be for ever. He was so pleasant but scared me as he spoke. He said you will have weight gain and feel bad. And all I could think yeap its already happened. Nothing new. But I do appreciate his concern and his time. So more insulin and more synthriod.

Then off to chemo. My oncologist sat with me and we discussed the finial two chemos. Whoop whoop!!!! So excited to be finishing that. She wants to do another Pet Scan to see if the I was responsive to the chemo and there is no more spread. She said she would request it and hopefully the insurance won’t deny it! Gotta love insurance!!!

On the bright side the nurse accessed my port and was able to draw blood on the first shot! I was so happy. It only took 14 chemo sessions to finally get it right. I took advantage and decided not to work this session and rest.

I then had a lovely visit from two coworkers, The Knabb sisters! What a joy to see them. Such good hearts! They brought me these beautiful roses.

Today I woke up and feel good haven’t felt this good in a while! So I’m enjoying it. Last week was hell and scary but that is the past and today is a great day. Two more sessions to go!!!! I got this! I am blessed.

    OMG you are blessed. And the news will be good. You are so strong and sharing all this, makes me wonder if I would be like you. I somehow doubt it. I had no idea what having cancer and going through this was all about. Stay strong my friend because you will make it.. So much love is sent to you.
