Feeling good

I may be getting the hang of this chemo regime. I am feeling just great, and I did over the weekend, too. My only issue are the couple of sores left in my mouth. Things taste a little strange, but overall it was much worse a last week. I am anticipating a good rest of the week. Keep your fingers crossed. Then, my next treatment will be next Monday. Based on last time, I hope to feel OK on Monday and Tuesday, then, I am guessing, the rest of the week will be down hill through that weekend, then, hopefully I feel an upswing again.

I went to see the social worker at the hospital tonight and I had some big "a-ha moments" and it felt great. It is amazing how much I learned in 50 minutes! I guess all my years of counseling have paid off. :) I was very encouraged by what she told me about the girls. After I shared with her what was going on with them (how they were doing in school - great, how they were sleeping - normal, how they are when it comes to chores - a pain, how they react to me - the same as before my diagnosis) she said they sounded like regular pre-teens with hormones starting to show themselves, and that I shouldn't be too worried about the cancer and its effects on them. That was a load off my mind and heart. She also gave me a really cool journal with guided questions, and it was written by a survivor. I'm excited to get started in it.

Thursday of this week I have an appt. with Dr. Lee to get expanded, and then that night I am going to my 1st breast cancer support group at the hospital. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Finally I want to thank you all for all your kinds thoughts, guestures, prayers and good energy!! I really do feel it.
love and peace,
