5th Chemo Treatment

Yesterday was my 5th Chemo treatment.  I now have one treatment left!  I have about 40 days to go before I can officially say that I am done going through Chemo.  The chemo treatment yesterday really made me not feel good and I was really depressed afterwards.  Needless to say, yesterday was a rough day for me.  Also, Yesterday I got my blood work back and my white blood count was lower than the normal range.  So, I had to go back today and get an injection to boost my white blood cells.  I have been told that I could make my bones hurt and that also that I shouldn't have a problem.  So we will see which way my body handles it.  I'm hoping for that not have a problem with it.  Next week Jonathan and I are going to meet with the radiologist that will be doing the radiation part of my treatment.  That more than likely won't start until 3 or 4 weeks after my last chemo session.  Next week we will find out more and hopefully get a schedule of when my treatments will start and for how long I will have to get them.

Today I am doing much better and not feeling sick like yesterday, which is so much better.  I'm and just tired and maybe a little nauseous.  I stayed home today from work and I will stay home again tomorrow.  Thursday and Friday I will probably go to work for half days like I have been previously on treatment weeks.  I have been doing pretty good and working 8 hour days on the weeks that I don't have treatment. 

I'm looking forward to being done with this and getting back to my "normal" schedule and life.  I miss being able to do the things that I was doing before I got diagnosed.  It has been hard not being able to play soccer, do yard work, help out around the house, and eat anything that I want (fresh produce).  Some days are definitely harder than others.
