Well it's hard to believe that I have now had treatment #6. Once again I was blessed with high counts so I am able to get my full dose of chemo. I have had trouble with my port not working properly. Next Thursday I have to go in for a port check. Just one more medical procedure to experience!!
I continue to do well except for the fatigue and now some gum issues. I'll be checking in with my dentist next week. I have tried to keep to a daily schedule of getting up at 7:30am and napping as needed. I do make it a point to get out each day at least once. Next week I will be substituting for summer school. It's from 9-12am and I am really looking forward to it.
I hope you are all enjoying these warm summer days. Looks like a nice week ahead.
That's all for now,
Karen
Hi Karen!
ReplyDeleteBeen following your "journey" & it's wonderful you are writing this not only for us but for yourself, too. You are sounding so positive & up - that's terrific & oh so important. You are a model for all of us!
To add a bit of humor, however, a "port check" might have sounded nicer on a Caribbean cruise!!! (tee-hee)
Glad you got your trip to Arizona, tho. Don't let them work you too hard in Summer School next week. Continue on doing so well.
I'll continue to wish the very best for you.
Always,
Debbie B.
Hi Karen!
ReplyDeleteI know you must be doing well to be looking forward to substituting; nothing like teaching to get your mind off treatments! Have fun being with the kids! As always, you are in my prayers. Love, Karen M.
