One Down, Five to Go

Well, I have the first chemo under my belt.  The dragon, so far, has turned out to be a large, albeit ugly, lizard.  Whew!  It isn't pleasant, but I haven't spent any time praying to the porcelain gods.  They have a new long-acting anti-nausea drug and it seems to work well.  Today, I had to get the Neulasta to boost my white cell count.  I am now waiting to see how that goes.  The main thing with that is bone pain from kicking the bone marrow into high gear.   I will get to keep my hair for a little while longer.  It should start to fall out in about 2-3 weeks.
I can't tell everyone how much their thoughts and prayers mean to me.  It really helps me a lot.

    Hi Debbie,
    So sorry to hear that you going through this. I have another friend from school who is dealing with this as well. I will add you to my prayers as well. I know its never easy to be sick. Just remember we are here and thinking about you. I have not been feeling up to par the last few months myself. Try to stop in and let us know how you are doing...
    Much Love and Blessings,
    Oceans, Debby

    Thanks, Deb! I hope your friend does well. I have really got it good, compared to so many. I have to do all the nasty stuff, but then I will be fine. So many others don't know if they will beat this in the end, even after going through everything.
