Chemo yesterday

I had my chemo yesterday. Full dose as all my blood work came back excellent.

I feel a little crappy today. Spent most of the morning in bed. I had a bit of a headache and felt a little nauseated but nothing a T3 and Ondanzatron could not fix!!!

Last night I was sick to the stomach again. At leaset it was projectile vomit, made it a little more interesting than the average heave!!

My hair has been thinning quite a bit lately. It has upset me quite a bit until today. I just figure that its a small price to pay for the chemo working its wonders.
I have actually started feeling a little better about things. One of them being the fact that the cancer is still present yet dorment. I should really be so thankful for that!! I am looking forward to the day where I stop the chemo and find out what the cancer will do on its own. Ok, very nervous about that but at least I will know really what I am up against when I let it do its own thing.

I really can't complain much about being on the chemo as it really does not bother me a whole lot. I find the worst part of it is mind over matter. I think the more I think of it, the more trouble it causes me. Just the thought of it all makes my stomach swirl.

I have a book I am reading, its by a Presbyterian minister who was diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma at age 28.
My God Is Real is the title.
Some of what he has gone through is very similar to what I am going through.
He is completely cured. I believe its been close to 5 years or so since he was diagnosed. Not sure but close.

I do have to admit something kind of silly though. I am a little disappointed that he was not metastatic. Why? Because I feel that millions of people could have written about their cancer being cured when it was only localized to one spot. I guess I want to hear of the miracle cases where the cancer was metastatic and they were cured.
None the less, its great reading. I really enjoy how he incorporates his spiritual side along with his own personal feelings, experiences and sense of humour.

I will try to find a link to the book and post up some excerpts.

Well, I can't think of much else for today. I have been overly lazy and should really get dressed (its 3pm after all)
Time to think about going to get some grocery shopping done.
