My special kindof normal...

Well second round of my chemo done.  I wasn't as nervous this time because I more or less know what to expect.  My doctor awhile back did mention after me asking that usually between 2nd to 3rd treatments you tend to lose your hair.  So I am just taking that day by day.  I have noticed in the past 2 weeks since the first treatment my hair seems to have become more straight. Again, my doctor, Dr Cook, looked for my masses and had a hard time finding them so that just fine with me.

I have been noticing a bit a soreness when I move my neck a certain way.  It is hard to describe quite where it is but I made my hand into the shape of a 'c' to represent my neck insides and somewhere deep in there is where the soreness is. My doctor said that was normal because of the lymphnodes shrinking and doing something else I can't remember lol.  So normal is good!  I was actually afraid I wasn't going to be able to get treatment today.  My white blood cells are right on the border of being too low. This is a normal side-effect when receiving chemothreapy/ I was able to go through with the treatment thank goodness and keep everything on track.  What this means as my doctor said crowds are my enemy.  I just need to becareful while they are rebuilding back in strength.  My mom suggested I wear a mask in public and I say "umm no".  :)

Just sitting on the deck and hanging out...

Currently I am 2/8 treatments completed.  Things are moving right along in a good way.  I am sure learning  quick of what they mean just when you start to feel pretty good, it is time to go back for treatment.  It will just have to be these way for awhile-but I will get through it.  I started thinking of it like being pregnant in my 1st trimester.  You feel tired, crappy and overall kindof blah...and then you start to come out of it and feel like you can take on the world again...(and for my pregnant and former prego's 3rd trimester hits and you are like what the heck happened to feeling so lovely lol).  At anyrate, now I just get to recovering from this round of cocktails of meds in me and head into the next round and keep on moving forward!  :)  Awh to feel normal again!Amercian Cancer Society birthday songs- great website!
