Nothing new – just getting a little nervous
Breast Cancer September 26th, 2006I haven’t written the past few days because there hasn’t been anything new happening. I am still getting used to the new medicine that the doctor prescribed. He told me to give it a few days because it would make me feel jittery. I started taking it last Tuesday and I felt like I was in a drug induced stupor. Yesterday and today have been the best days on it so hopefully my body is finally getting used to it.
Tomorrow is the big day. First chemo treatment. I am nervous! Even though I saw my mom go through it so many, many times, I still can’t help wonder what it will be like, how I will feel, will I get sick, when, etc. I imagine I won’t be sleeping well tonight. My chemo appointment is set for 8:15 and Jeff will be staying with me for support. I think in the future, I will be able to go by myself but it will be very nice to have him there tomorrow.
If everything goes right, my last treatment will be March 7th….24 weeks later. Everyone always says how fast time is going…for once I will be rooting for time to fly by. I just want this to be over and life to get back to normal.
I’ll try to post again after my first treatment. Thanks again for all your support, prayers and words of encouragement. It truly helps me so much!
Love, Lori
