Cancer Update

 I keep a cancer log separately from here, but I have now finished one-third of my chemo treatments!  I'm a pro...not really.  I've only done 2 of 6, but I feel much easier about it now and it has made a big difference so far as my lymph node size goes.  I can't no longer find them/feel them.  They have shrunken way down.  I haven't had any scans and probably won't till a few weeks after the last chemo in December, but I have lost about 8 lbs. along with everything else which I am absolutely loving.  It's certainly not all I need to lose, but it's the only time I've lost weight without really trying to.  So, that's another plus.  I have felt the power of prayer and blessings in this experience and it has helped so much.  I have not had any really bad reactions to either chemo thankfully; just a little bit of after nausea which pills have done a good job of taking care of.  So, I don't really have anything to complain about.  I have been able to go back to work as I had hoped.  I do wear a mask when no one else does, but I'm fine with that.  I do have to stay home the Sunday after chemo and watch church, but that's not bad since they are still broadcasting it anyway.  I went on vacation after the first chemo and then after this one we spent the day in Pine Valley hiking and walking and picnicking.  So I feel grateful and blessed and like I'm getting the care and results I need to get this into remission hopefully.
