Great Week

I've had a great week since last Tuesday. Usually I feel pretty lousy right up to the second weekend following treatment, which gives me four or five good days before my next treatment. Fortunately, this time round I have felt relatively well since the Tuesday that followed my (Wed/Thurs/Fri) treatment.

So, on Tuesday March 3rd, I joined a friend (in the picture to the left) at the final home game of the season for the Syracuse University Men's Basketball team. Syracuse won and we had a absolute blast. I felt a little out of it in comparison to how I've felt that close to a treatment in weeks past, but not enough to hinder my excitement.

I went for a couple walks pushing Beau in his stroller this week and I imagine those really helped as well. Exercise is good during chemo - so I've been told - but I'm short of breath just from walking fast as a result of my treatment, so going for walks has been pretty low on my list of things to do.

I'll do my best to take a few more between now and my treatment this Wd/Thurs/Fri, as well as following the treatment. But either way, this upcoming treatment is scheduled to be my last. #12. This could be the last of it for good. I can barely get my head around it.

  3. Whew! I was a little worried about you, not having seen a new message for a while. Glad you are having some fun and feeling OK. I, too, hope this will be the end. You have been so brave.
