Round 3 Completed

Greetings, All,

Yesterday completed round 3 of chemo (for a total of 9 sessions). Once again my body handled it well--the only downside was the effect of the steroid last night. I finally got out of bed at 2 a.m. and laid on the couch where I read until 4:00. After a couple hours of sleep, I felt fully awake and ready to go. I know, however, that this is drug-produced energy and fully intend to lay down this afternoon.

My CT scan is scheduled for 11:00 on Monday. I have my 32 oz. of yummy berry flavored contrast fluid ready to refrigerate and drink over a 12-hour period. I do appreciate your thoughts and prayers as I try not to play out every possible outcome in my mind over and over again. I am trying, instead, to live in the moment and appreciate what each day brings. Yesterday I was grateful for Mom massaging my feet while I relaxed in my chemo lounge chair. Then Mary Simpson stopped by to visit after her students performed in the lobby again. I couldn't hear them but could imagine the wonderful music they were creating. Today, Ginny Morse (my blog creator) is picking me up so we can have a picnic lunch in a nearby park. It's a beautiful day, and she couldn't have picked a better outing for me.

Thank you again for your continuous support demonstrated is so many ways. I know you are with me every step of the way. I thank God for each one of you.

Linda

  1. Mmmmm...if we would all have the same attitude of savoring the sweet moments as they come.
    Lord, set Linda's mind at peace during this active waiting ...and add those moments of joy. We know you are victorious in all things....even cancer. In your name, Amen.
