Chemo Today
There's a song, from many eons ago (when I was VERY young!!!), called "Wipe Out" and that definitely describes how I feel today.
I went for blood work, doctor visit, and chemo this morning. This was a long chemo session because they added that "make your bone healthy" IV solution.
I'll try to write tomorrow and narrate the pictures I added this morning. I'm just too weak to write much today.
Good news: The tumor has shrunk even more in my breast and she said she can't feel the lymph node tumor at all. The doc also told me the new drug they start for round 5 - 8 won't be so hard on me - energy-wise; nor with side effects like I am experiencing. She reiterated that they are giving me the strongest and worst possible stuff they can give to aggressively kill the cancer cells and she thinks I'm doing great - even hugged me when she left the room!
I'm crawling back to bed now.
Be Blessed ~
P.S. I finished my book, but can't remember what I'm reading, now. Something by Beverly Lewis, I think!

Hugs to you and goodnight. It's good to hear it's shrinking.
I'm glad you had such positive news & that the "chemo people" seem to be such nice people!!
It's good news indeed to hear those tumors are shrinking. I can only imagine what it is taking out of you to go through this treatment, though. You rest and we will keep praying!
(((BIG HUGS))) you keep resting, dear lady. GOD LOVES YOU. ~Shan
Continuing to pray for you! I think of you often throughout my day. Glad to hear you heard good news. That ought to perk you right up!
Great report! I'm sorry you feel wiped, but I rejoice that the treatment is doing its best. May the Lord touch you and bring about complete healing. Keep your eyes fixed on Him!
GREAT news!!! I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say how happy we are to hear about your news. Relax and post later ~
Praise God!!
Love and Prayers from me!
This is Lori, even though Sarah is signed in. I've got to scramble (going out of town again) but wanted to catch up with your doings. You are in my thoughts and prayers, always, my friend.
That's great that the tumor is shrinking! Try to get some rest.
Good news, indeed!
