Second Treatment

Yesterday's treatment went really well.  I was only there for 2 1/2 hours.  I got right in for labs, then seeing my doctor and then chemo.  I think I like those afternoon times since there are not so many people there.

The boys came with John to the treatment to get a tour of the building and see what Mommy goes through.  They got to see my blood under a microscope and they watched someone having their blood drawn.  I wasn't with them through this since I was already in the process of my treatment.  I think they found it all very interesting and maybe will help take away any scared thoughts they may have built up in their heads when Mommy goes to the doctor and takes her medicine.  All of the people at Missouri Cancer Associates are wonderful.  They were very kind and friendly with the boys.  I think that helped a lot!

I am doing well today.  I have a little bit of nausea but I have been taking the pills to combat that...so far so good.  My energy is a little low today.  I took a 3 hour nap this morning.  I'm not sure if that is from the chemo or that I just needed to catch up on some sleep since I have been running around like crazy with errands preparing for the down time.  I go at 4:00 today for the Neulasta shot.  Hopefully, that will not take too much out of me.

That was just a quick update.  I will share more when I have more.

Love to you all!
