3rd chemo treatment down - 5 to go!!!!

I am so behind and I am sorry - the fatigue from the chemo is really bad for me!! I had my 3rd treatment on Sept 1 and of course mother nature had to show her face too!! Dr. K said i should stop getting period and I hope so cause the fatigue is like 12x worse!!!!!!!

I was actually headed home to SC to see my family on August 24 - but we had thunderstorms here that delayed flights and as I sat at the airport feeling worse and worse I knew I had to cancel my plans. thanks to the lady at the USAIR desk who said I should just go to baggage area 2 pick up my bags and call Greg - she had already given me credit for my ticket - sweetie that she was!! Hurricane Irene came and went - we didn't get damage - thank goodness!! it was a crazy weekend though!!

Saw Dr. K yesterday and he says I am doing great. I am on the whole food diet(fruits and veggies) and green drinks so I know that helps!!! My 4th treatment is on Sept 15 then 2 weeks off due to the Jewish holiday. Hoping to go to NJ with S and J for a day at Grounds for Sculpture!!! love that place!!!

I got some great cards from some friends and a bracelet from my childhood BFF. A good friend and fellow cancer patient sent me a couple of hats ( so cute and sassy) - it's nice to know people care.

Ok I am going to try to be better with the blogging I promise!! I have to get more organized at home - I told Greg we look like hoarders with all the stuff in the bedroom that we brought up from basement in case of flood from Irene and of course I didn't get to unpack from my canceled trip home and just having no energy to clean!!

  1. Hi Darlene
    I saw your comment to Oliag in her post card swap post and I had to come over and say hello to a fellow New Yorker and wish you the best. I looked at your professional photos and I can see you are very talented. Cheering you on towards the end of chemo -- keep up your wonderful attitude.

    Hugs, Pat
