7 down 18 to go

Wednesday is the day I see the doctor, Dr. Herman.  They also do lab work, weight, BP, etc.  My weight is stable.  I lost about 14 pounds after the surgery.  Rob makes sure that I eat enough and often so that I don't lose weight, and he makes sure I take my pills on time and eat on time. 

Today we confirmed with Dr. herman how many treatments I have left, for a total of 25.  We originally thought it would be 28; so now we are trying to get back in time for Kyle's prom.  If we can work in a Saturday treatment we can be home by April 2nd.

I napped twice today, before lunch and after.  Getting ready to go for my daily walk, which will be much more enjoyable when it warms up.

So, rob suggested I keep a blog to let everyone know how I am feeling.  For those that don't know I hate writing, especially about myself.  However I must admit it is a good idea to keep people informed.  I am truly blessed to have so many friends and family concerned about me!  I am grateful for everyone's prayers on my behalf!


So, I had radiation treatment #6 today.   I take two chemo drugs (in pill form) in conjunction with this radiation.  Tarceva I take 1/day every day.  Xeloda I take 2 pills twice a day and only days of radiation.  Side effects right now are fatigue and a little big of discomfort and nausea.  Took an anti-nausea pill this morning to help which it did.  I try to get out and walk outside (or in the gym) every day.  Saturday I felt well enough we went to the mall.
