I woke up this morning and realized that it's February 6th. That means I only have 2 months of treatments left to go. My last dose is April 6th!!! I can do this right?!
This weekend started out a little rough. Friday morning I woke up feeling awful and wanting to quit. I was crying (and crying) and told Kurt I was phoning the oncologist and telling her I quit. I wanted my life back, I wanted to be a mom, a wife and go to work. I was done with chemo and feeling crappy all the time. Kurt just looked at me and said, "I think that's a bad idea". The phone rang at that moment and it was my Best Friend Colleen. She heard my tears and said, "I'm leaving and I'll see you in an hour". She got in her car with her baby and came up from Toronto. Kurt waited with me until she arrived. I hadn't seen Colleen since she came up to take care of me after my surgery. Sickness hit her house and she couldn't come. It was SO nice to see her. She just always know what I need when I need it and I instantly felt better. Saturday I was able to get out and see a few friends from work. I went to Woodstock for a bridal shower. It was great to see my work ladies and get some much needed hugs. I hadn't been out since just after my surgery so I got ready like it was prom and felt really good being out. We were home late which, resulted in me not being able to sleep. So on Sunday the boys went to my parents and I had a 4 hour nap. Kurt and I went to my parents for dinner and then home for Superbowl. What a game!!! Thanks to my nap I was able to stay up for the whole game.
I'm feeling pretty good. Still coughing and runny nose. It's annoying but I think it's just a virus. I'm going to ask if my sinus' could be affected from the chemo given that my nose burns while they're giving me the one chemo drug.
I'm excited that Friday marks my half way point and also marks my LAST dose of the first 4 drugs. Feeling pretty good about that. I have lots of babysitters for me lined up for this weekend as my parents will be in the sunny south. I'll be staying at their house while Kurt is home with the boys. Should be an interesting weekend but we'll make it work. Fingers crossed I'm well enough with the cold to have my treatment on Friday.
