Happy Spring.....

Happy 1st day of Spring.  This weather has been amazing and I have been enjoying the spring weather "tease".  I have been getting outside enjoying the weather and getting some fresh air.  I think the weather has been good for my soul and my mood.  I have discovered that my wig is SO hot in this weather so I hope my hair grows back before the dead of summer so I can go "topless" and not have to wear my wig.  I have been very careful with my skin and bald head when I go outside.  I try to stay covered up or stay in the shade.  It's amazing how much a bald head sweats!! 

I am getting geared up to have round 7 of 8.  I can't believe how close I am getting now.  This Friday I will be 90% of the way there.  I see my oncologist on Wednesday and have my blood work taken.  I have been feeling pretty good and only had aches and pains for a few days.  I have been getting headaches though which, is a side effect of the Taxol so I'll have to ask the doctor about that this week.  It could be that I am not drinking enough too.  Any liquid has the consistency of baby oil and nothing seems to satisfy my thirst.  But I am trying to force myself to drink water with a bit of juice for flavour. 

We are all booked for April and cannot wait to get away for a few weeks and get on the beach.  The boys will have SO much fun and we just love it there.  2 more hurdles/treatments first and then I can really look forward to the trip.  It will be nice to reconnect as a family and create memories.  For now, I am feeling good and looking forward to the end.  That finish line is in sight :)
