Sucessful Chemo Session
lynnwv | April 27, 2008 09:33
It’s 4:00 am again. I fell asleep well, listening to the rain again, but woke up too early. I’ve been tinkering with things and thought I’d better share my latest chemo treatment so folks wouldn’t wonder.
It’s a huge praise!! Everything went perfectly and I’ve been blessed, thank you so much for your prayers. I took my premeds of steroids, went to treatment, got more premeds of Benedryl, steroids, anti-nausea, and went to sleep while they gave me the Herceptin and the Taxotere (making up for the steroids keeping me up the night before). There was no immediate reactions to the chemo this time, praise God. That was Friday and today is, very early, Sunday.
I was really tired yesterday, but rested most of the day so that I could go to the Mother Daughter Dinner at Jessica’s church. Mom, me, and Katie met Jessica and Ella at the church for a lovely dinner and message. Four generations of ladies celebrating mothers. It was wonderful. It was definitely worth spending the afternoon on the couch. I started to drag toward the end of the evening, but it was winding down so we left. It was hard for me to believe that I had just had treatment the day before. Of course I was still taking my post med steroids.
This morning I’m a little sluggish. My stomach isn’t terrible, but I can tell it’s going to require a little tender care today. I would like to go to church, but I’ll see how I am in about four hours. I’ll try to crawl back into bed for a little more sleep.
I’m actually feeling emotionally charged up. I know I’ve got 3 weeks before my next treatment and I’m overly optimistic that it won’t get any worse than this. My biggest concern is in a week from now, when my white blood cells are at their weakest, that the infection returns. But I am praying the Lord will take that worry out of my heart and just deal each with issue as they happen. He is always Faithful!
I’ll write again soon. Tomorrow is my birthday, and I just want to say that it is a great honor to have another birthday. I will never complain about getting older again. I want to be one of those lovely older ladies who proudly state their age as the grand accomplishment that it is. Ok, I’m not shouting my age, yet, but I am happy to have this day. God Bless all of you!
