Round 3 - Chemo


Me: "So, Dr. I've been gaining weight... I know this is a stupid question, but can I take appetite suppressants?" Dr.: "Which ones are you thinking?" "I don't know, I've never really taken them before" "Well, are you exercising?" "Ummm... kinda, I chase around 2 kids, but nothing else really" "I'm not concerned about your weight gain, it's only 2 lbs, but if you want to do something about it, you should exercise"  (What I assume him to be thinking... DUH!) "Yes, sir"

Here I am hooked up to my the concoctions. Dr. is very happy about my overall health, the tumor is smaller, blood counts are good, I'm healthy - for the most part. I'll get an ultrasound in 2 weeks to confirm the new size of the tumor. Then we'll talk about it all again before my fourth treatment.

Thank you Aimee P for stopping by for Mancala and thank you hubby for stopping by with Mocha Lite Frappuccino- yum!

SHOUTOUT: A special thank you to Tracy & Lisa for booking trips for rounds five and six. Also, thank you to Vince & Belah, Aimee & Ben Shiela and Hilary for food, kids and general support. To Ryan for offering to take the dogs (even though it didn't work out). And, of course, to my mama for daily words of inspiration - I love you, mama!

**Today, I celebrate the warrior within. I'll survive this battle!**
