Hi all! Its that time again. I am in Miami, port accessed and fluids started. Chemo should be early eve I am guessing. I drove down yesterday and my appointments were early AM so I got admitted earlier this time. I asked my Dr what is going to happen after this round. He told me from here, we keep up these same aggressive treatments, with pet scans every other treatment to watch what is happening, until my body shows any sign that it is not handling this chemo anymore. Then he said we have lots of options after. My life for the kids and I is so different now. I am here every 21 days, and only have about 4-5 days in between treatments that I feel normal enough to drive, or am able to be in public. That does not leave much time to do life. And at times I really feel badly for my kids, and all they have to endure with me. But I just keep remembering that this is how it has to be so I can have a normal life again. Well, as normal as it can be, with continued cancer management and prevention. I also think that we are all learning lessons that we may never have learned, and I am able to teach my kids a lot through this experience about appreciation, enjoying the little things, facing battles head on with strength and determination, and also about allowing yourself to show your emotions and feelings that are so very valid and real. But I have to believe God will bring me through this, so I just continue to accept the plan He has right now. I have hope! I have a lot to be thankful for! I was able to visit with a friend I have not seen in a long time recently. I was very encouraged to find out that she says my journey with cancer is helping others in ways I dont even see. That truly meant a lot. I will forever say that I am going through this for reasons I am not aware of, but will do what I am called to do, and if I have to do it, it will have purpose. So thank you to all of you who keep encouraging me. It is a road that I would not wish upon anyone, but would not take it all back with all that I have learned, and who I have been able to become during the process. Your support truly makes the difference though. It is vital to anyone going through something of this nature. And I am very very thankful!!! I will post later and let you know when we are beginning the next round.... cycle 1 of round 10! God is already in the miracle working and I am believing He is going to do this.
