This Week

Hi! Well round two was this week and it went pretty well with few complications! My mom went with me to the first two treatments on Tuesday and Wednesday and today my former neighbor and great friend Pam Murrey went with me! It sure makes it better to have someone there! I had a bit of a problem with the blood draw and IVs this time but it was still better than having a port! Next time I have to try something different. But thats not for 28 days! My doctor wants me to stay off work another month due to flu season and all the germs on those planes. So I will be around!

The worse part of the week was not being able to sleep last night due to the steroids they gave me yesterday! UGH. Couldn't sleep so stay up until the wee hours reading and playing solitare and then got very little sleep before waking up again and lying there trying to go back to sleep. So I finally got up and drank some sleepy time tea and it helped a bit but still only slept an hour or so before just getting up altogether. Now I am fading fast and hoping to sleep well after my long walk this evening with Sarah Merrill and Catie Booher!

The last thing to get through this round is the steroid crash that might come tomorrow and will leave me exhausted if its like last month. But it only lasts a day and then I am fine! I am so grateful for Treanda and its less toxocity! Very blessed to have the timing work out for me to take this new drug!

Thanks for all your prayers! Our prayer is that the drugs will do only what they are supposed to do and will do that well and will harm nothing else in my body nor mind neither now with side effects or later! And that God will continue to uphold me and will use this time in my life to His glory. Thanks for checking in on me! Have a great weekend!
