I guess it's been a few days since I"ve posted. I've been so busy at work and home.
Well, I'm pretty much ready to say I'm past the chemotherapy. I've felt really good since Saturday. Fatigue is barely an issue. I do really need my 8 hours of sleep but that's it. I am getting a little winded when I workout with my dumbells at night. I was prepared for way worse than this Carboplatin Chemotherapy has actually been. I've had colds that were worse. It has been a breeze.
On to Radiation Therapy. I have my simulation appointment on Wednesday. They will tattoo me with dots where they will be doing the Radiation and creating a mold of my body. I will also be getting scanned. Dr. Logsdon told me that he expects those cancerous nodes will not be visible this time. I hope he is right.
Brandi and I are starting to talk about the celebration that will take place when this treatment is done. We are looking for an "all inclusive" spot in Mexico to take the kids for a couple days in May or early June. Or maybe a cruise? I want to find a place where we can get a good group deal and invite everyone and their mother to be able to book a stay at the same time. I know it's early but we're almost there. If all goes as planned, my treatment will be over on April 25th.

Way to go. I told you attitude has everything to do with your slight down time. The only next hardest part will be the end of your radiation. You may end up with it feeling like a really bad sunburn. All of my burn has never went away. I didn't want my last two treatments, but the technicians said get up on the table anyway. At the end, you will probably get a very nice diploma signed by all the technicians. They are so very nice. I probably started losing my hair after about three weeks into chemo. You keep on going. You are doing great.
