What to say: More of the same. Round five, came & went, along with the shot that keeps my white count up & fighting. The shot is what makes me feel so bad; I truely hate getting it. However, a week later, I'm feeling better: up and around, even out and about. Steve has been making sure that I rest (when I don't want to) and going about my day easily (even though I don't think I need to!)
I'm really enjoying having my family together for the holiday. The beautiful paper, and Christmas decorations have really brightened my spirits! I find myself just sitting & taking it all in; probably appreciating the meaning of the season "really" for the first time. I'm feeling blessed and fortunate.
January 4, 2008 around 2pm Eastern Time, please take a second to acknowledge my completion of chemotherapy treatment number 6. On the Oncology Infusion Unit, there is a brass Navy bell to ring when one finishes chemo. I've been dreaming about ringing that bell, and what it signifies for months now. Finishing chemo is huge, like completing a marthon; I"m ready to win & finish this race.
I probably wont write again before Christmas, so everybody, have a Merry one. Please remember the true meaning for this season.
