Combination chemo 3

Everything is going to be just fine with you by my side.

It was not a pot luck!

Sylvia stopped by on Friday and brought me two of my favorite foods from the Mexican food group. Enchiladas and capirotada, or bread pudding. Yum yum yum! This made my day! Thank you Sylvia.

A visitor

It's was great to see Aron and my brother Reyes. Thank you for your visit. Love you

Here we are again

Hey the regulars are back. It's like being at Cheers without the beer! They only serve chemo oh and sleepy time medicine. And just like a responsible bar tender they ask if You have a designated driver. I do, I do.....

Girls just wanna have fun

Bet you can't guess which ones are the wig?!

Next Chemo on Tuesday

I made it though my first chemo! I wont lie the first three days after my chemo I felt sick. I just wanted to sleep it off and wake up in a different Month. I am now psyching my self for my next treatment on Tuesday. I guess it better that I now know what to expect. I'm anticipating that i will be losing my hair maybe after this next chemo. No problem I have my wigs on stand by. I have felt all the well wishes and prayers send and made for my recovery. I am blessed. Thank you for your support. love you all !

Quite the roller coaster

There are so many reasons and moments to acknowledge your health. Rarely do we note when the body is actually doing so much. When you have cancer, you notice just what the body does every passing moment. Here are some things to share with what is going On:
1. Lots of blood work and doctor visits occur more frequently even after treatment has started. The "vampires" as
Mom call them, LOVE her veins and drain them regularly.
2. Her doctors make an amazing team, they talk w my mom and dad and EACH OTHER. It is a true team approach process to medicine. Thank God for them.
3. Side effects are very real but different depending on the treatment, day, and for all we know the weather. Your five senses are put to the test. Metallic taste, sensitivity, exhaustion, smell, you name it, there is something effected by the chemo treatment. In fact every time she goes to chemo the dr gives the same questionnaire of 100 different side effects she may experience from that last round of chemo. We don't know if Monday will be like last Monday.
4. Energy is real. It doesn't really matter how you feel, a surge of energy makes it possible to clean the pantry or go for a walk (yep she did :)).
Today is good. We have seen the roller coaster effect. Other days are more challenging. She is soooooo happy today. She was so happy she cleaned her floors. "Whatever you want" is the theme in the house these days.
Thank God.
Keep praying. Tuesday she goes in again and we see more yucky days...That's okay. Chemo is doing its job and in a few days or a week we will hear her laughing or becoming way too dramatic over her latest novela.

She loves you all so much.
