A colleague asked me today how many sessions of chemo I have had. I wasn't sure if it was 4 or 5. Not sure if that is an effect of chemo brain, just having so much going on in my life or something else but I was a bit surprised to not know the answer right off the top of my head. Apparently it is 5, which means at this time tomorrow I will be halfway done. Yes! It is going to feel really good....emotionally anyway, to be at the halfway mark. Physically, it will feel crummy, which I always get a bit depressed about the Tuesday before chemo. Just knowing that tomorrow will begin 5-7 days of feeling really crappy is a bit demoralizing....it's like the last day of vacation or the Sunday night blues that some people get. But, luckily I only have 6 more of these left. I can do this!
In other news, I have a bunch of other blog posts that I have started but haven't had time to finish that I will try to get up tonight. Specifically, I started chronicling all the symptoms, etc that got me here. Seems like a lifetime ago and it has been really interesting for me to "relive" that time. It's long and probably not really captivating reading unless you are one of those people who wonder about such things, but enough people have asked either out of plain curiosity or fear of their own symptoms, I thought I'd write about it. So, stay tuned.
