chemo round 3

Hope you all enjoyed the long weekend! Kelly, Wes, Amanda, Sawyer and I spent the weekend enjoying the lake. Was good to do some visiting and a bit of shoppin. We have also had some friends in from out of town staying with us the last few days, which has been great.

I had a doctors apt today which went well. I found out my blood was all good so am able to have chemo again tomorrow. I will hear in the next day or 2 about one last blood test but am hopeful it will be positive and encouraging. People often ask if I get nervous or up tight about chemo, but the truth is I am so thankful for it as it is what will get me well. When I think about chemo, I embrace it, and think: “bring it on”.

I plan to spend the day Friday with family celebrating my birthday, then plan to lay low for a few days and get this round of chemo over with and through me.

My surgery date has been set for September 6th in Winnipeg, with the consult being on August 21st. I am trying to think of the surgery the same way I look at chemo; I am embracing it with that “bring it on” attitude, as I know it is necessary to get me healthy and well.

I have been walking everyday, eating blueberry spinach smoothies, spending time with friends and family, and I sure appreciate all the kindness that all of you continue to show us. Thanks again, will keep you in the loop over the next few days as I get through this 3rd round of chemo.
