Round 3

It's now Saturday, two days after my chemo and I actually have managed to keep my meds down which is making this a much better round than the last two. I have a standing order for fluids if I need them next week. Speaking of next week, I turn 40! I hope to have a great day on my birthday, with no nausea. The doctor cut my epirubicin dose down by 20% which I'm thinking is making this a better round. But I have to admit it scares me a little. Will having less of a dose help keep the cancer away? I guess I have to trust in the power of prayer that it will.

Round 2

Today was round two of chemo. I really wasn't looking forward to it other than that it's one more closer to the end. Having two good weeks was very nice. This time they premedicated me with two anti nausea meds. I pray it helps! I really want to enjoy my last week off before going back to work instead of hanging out in the bathroom. My chemo run takes about 5 1/2 hrs each time. Today I worked on CEU's for work and worked on my pictures from San Antonio. Erik came with to keep me company and drive me home. The only thing I am feeling when I get the chemo drugs are heart palpitations and dizziness. It's not bad and not continuous but it's there. Only 2 more big chemo sessions and then 12 weeklies.
