Round Two

Just a quick update. Had my second round of chemo yesterday (November 12, 2009). Wasn't bad. I didn't get as nauseated and I did the first round. It was a long 8 hours in that little bitty room. Chemo only takes about an hour, but since it's a trial they have to take blood samples at different times throughout the 8 hour period. So it's a lot of laying there watching tv. It was 1am before mom and I got to go pass out at the hotel. It was a very short night. Had to catch the plane home at 9am the next morning. Just a quick trip up there though. Doctor said my rash is looking a lot better. That's what they are focused on right now. We gotta get it cleared up and under control.

I've been having a hard time eating. Things taste different and not in a good way. My sense of smell is very sensative. It doesn't take much for my stomach to turn. That's frustrating. Shelly (my clinical nurse) said she's gonna woop my butt if I loose weight. Not that that would be a bad thing in my eyes, but they don't want me to loose any.

I go back Wednesday to see the dermatologist for a check up on my rash. Then I will visit with Shelly again to go over the oh so fun 3 pages worth of questions. Right now I'm feeling okay. Very tired and nauseated, but glad to be home.

Tomorrow Brayden's football team plays for the championship. They are undefeated WOOT!!! I have NEVER missed any of Brayden's games and when I missed my first one last week it really hurt. The damn sun is my worst enemy and will be for the rest of my life. I refuse to miss his Super Bowl game. People can stare at me all they want with my body covered from head to toe with clothes, a nice cap protecting my head and an umbrella shading me from the sun. I'll be damned if I miss one of the most exciting games of my childs life!
