chemo #3 Done!

Yesterday after teaching my morning class, I had chemo #3 and it went as smoothly as the others. In fact, as soon as I was finished I packed up the car and my trusty dog Joe, and headed to the beach. I made the 3 hour drive no problem and met up with Jack and a great group of family members that traveled all the way from Ohio and Michigan to visit us. I was tired but that happens after driving even without chemo. I'm still happy to report that I haven't experienced any nausea and I am so grateful. I am sensitive to certain foods, what I feel is a mild burning sensation in my throat, but nothing I can't live with. I'm using products to help with it. Today I will self inject the Neulasta to boost my white blood cells and anxiously await chemo #4, the half way point! So my noticeable side effects so far are the obvious hair loss, an occasional unusual sensation in my throat and a little fatigue (which will likely increase over treatment), I'm doing just fine. I know that I don't always write between treatments, but if I don't, please don't worry. You can assume that I am doing well, living and loving life! Any big changes, I'll let you know. Thank you for your continued love, support, prayers and thoughts. I hold them very close to my heart and this is no doubt why I continue to do well. Thank you.
