Oh my God, you guys!!!!
Man, you all sure know how to make a girl feel loved!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I'm doing ok! I had my first cycle of salvage chemo last week and am recovering quite nicely. This regimen is definitely some powerful juju, though!!
-- although not quite as powerful as it could be if I were to get it delivered to me inpatient rather than outpatient, as I have, alas. It's a long story (for more detail, feel free to visit my blog!) but the jist of it is that it's looking like I'm going to switch both oncologists and hospitals. Stressful, but a good thing! I like my current oncologist very much, but I'm not sure he's the right oncologist for this moment in my cancer life. Maybe after the transplant. In the meantime, I need to get stronger chemo than he's able to give me outpatient, and I need to have the transplant done inpatient (as it's done almost everywhere -- but where I was planning on getting it done) because Lorraine can't take 4-6 weeks off of work to be my caregiver 25/7, as would be required if I did the stem cell transplant outpatient.
While it's stressful to change everything midstream, it's a good thing, though, and I'm feeling very positive and hopeful.
In other news, Lorraine's family just left (which is a good thing), we're loving the house more than ever, and the pool should be done by the end of next week so I'll be able to get a few swims before I'm not allowed in the pool anymore!
Thank you again for everything.
whoops
Thinking of you and Lorraine!
