Happy Holidays Everyone,
I've had one Dr appointment since my last post. It was just as routine as all the rest are with out having results because no scans were done. It's a little no actually becoming a fight to go these days. The Dr says he'll schedule another scan in or just before February. No reason to do any scans prior to that since he's planning on doing treatments until February 9. After we get the results from the scans we will decide what path to take. More treatments or be done with treatments. Feb 9 is my dad's birthday. Wouldn't that be a nice birthday present for dad. To tell him that I don't have to have treatments anymore. Unwrapped presents are always the best. If I don't have to have infusion treatments I believe I would be put on oral chemo drug that I would take at home. That is what was mentioned when I started chemotherapy anyway.
Side effects are about the same since I started this drug. For 2 or 3 days after treatment I have a major head ache. Bone achiness for 24 hours. Short fuzzed is the major side effect that effects everyone around me. Not sure how long that lasts. Any length is too long. That's all I really have to report on the health front.
Family update is a little different than the last post. Emily is now doing basketball and not swimming. This is her first time playing.. She is tall for her age so I guess she was recruited after a night at open gym which she had a great time at. Her games will be on Saturday morning ! So nothing lighten up on the family schedule on Saturdays. After Christmas break James will have basketball practice , Emily will have basketball games , and Rachel will have cheer competitions. Luckily Paul has the 4 Saturdays off in January off so we can divywill up being 3 places at once.
Everyone traveling away for the Holidays please be safe. I hope everyone has a wonderful, peaceful Holiday season.
