Number 4

I just had my 4Th treatment on Monday February 8Th. This was by far the best one yet. The Doctor said each one would be different, and she was right. At first they slowly started getting worse. The first one was fine, then the second one I got tired the week end after, then the third I was tired by the Wednesday after my treatment, and it continued through the weekend. This time was much better. I was tired on the Thursday after,and I slept on and off most of the day. Ric was able to get work off, and stay with the kids so I could rest. You always know your spouse is wonderful( that's why you marry them), but when something like this happens, you hope they step up, put the superhero cape on, and take off. He's done just that. He has been my personal superhero! Stepping in with the kids, and the home duties like he's done them all along. By Friday I felt rested and much stronger. I hope this continues for the remaining 2. I still have the bitter medal taste in my mouth, not as strong as last time, but it's still there. Everything I drink taste bitter. I need to push through it, and continue to drink fluids, it really seamed to make a difference this time with my treatment, not being dehydrated. I feel that's why I bounced back so quickly this time I made sure to drink alot of fluids the week before treatment, and then the week of to flush out the chemo. I'm sure glad I was feeling better this time because the kids had a snow day Wednesday and Thursday after my treatment, and then their winter break started on Friday. They are home until Tuesday the 16Th. They can enjoy their winter break outside playing in the snow.
