Chemo Update

Well, I just thought I would post a quick update since I haven't in a few weeks. I am 1/3 of the way through my second round of chemo now. After having some blood tests and what not during my last round of chemo the doctor says that my numbers are looking better in repect to the cancer. So in other words this kind of chemo is working for me. I have 2 more weeks left in this round of my chemo and then I will have a minimum of 2 more rounds after this one (most likely more). As for the questions lots of you have had about this treatment here is some of the details. My main side effects are near constant nausea and lack of appetite. I take some pills to help with the nausea but if I don't keep up on my eating regularly or if I am up and around for too long then I still get to experience the joyful nausea. Also yes, I did lose my hair. But that isn't too bad. Natalie and Jake thought it was GREAT fun to shave my head. I have a couple of wigs and I enjoy this time in my life of not having to blow dry or curl any hair. It is like a hair vacation. Plus the benefits extend to my legs and armpits too. Which is something I am sure everyone was dying to know! :)

I also wanted to say a quick thanks to EVERYONE who has prayed for me, had positive thoughts for me, done service for my family and I, offered service for my family and I, thought about doing service for my family, anything. Everything has been such a big help. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful support system of both family and friends.
