We have been meaning to update everyone all week, but things have been crazy busy. Last Thursday was my 3rd round of chemo. I was feeling okay after the treatment until Friday afternoon and then the rest of weekend was a hard one. I felt super tired and woozie and couldn't function properly. My balance was off and I couldn't sleep enough.
We had mentioned in our last post that my white count was down and that I might have to get daily shots to boost my reproduction of white blood cells. Well, it happend. Today will be my third and hopefully final day of the "booster shot." I guess we will see as my blood work will be redone. The shot is called Neupogen and the side effects are pretty awesome; sore joints and bones.
New research is showing that strength training has been shown to be beneficial when going through chemo, so I got to work out this week on Wednesday and felt really good. Obviously I had to go lighter on my weights, but still managed to check myself out in the mirror (for medical purposes, of course).
We continue to be thankful for your thoughts and prayers and notes and meals and everything. They really give our spirits a "boost."
