3rd one down...

only one more to go!

so...it's sort of the same old story. this chemo was sort of traumatizing, sort of normal. my parents flew in yesterday morning to be at the 3rd chemo treatment with me. i met with my dr. who said that everything seemed very good and normal, according to my blood work. the only thing that was a bit low was my white blood cell count. unfortunately there's nothing i can do to help them regenerate faster...and if they are low again, i might have to postpone the last chemo by a few days. but otherwise, she said everything was looking good.

so it took about 2 1/2 hours for the whole ordeal. lots of things to inject in me. but the nurse was super nice. and she explained everything to my parents so they would understand what toxic chemicals were being injected into their daughter.

yesterday i felt okay...a little groggy and weird from the billions of anti-nausea pills they have me take beforehand. and then we drove up to vail to stay here for a while...i hope the freezing cold fresh mountain air will be a relaxing place to rejuvenate...and meditate those white blood cells into rejuventating, too.

today i feel okay...a bit groggy, a bit nauseous, but overall okay.

so, for now, the LAST chemo is scheduled for monday november 19th. that way the nausea might be gone in time for thanksgiving dinner.
