The past week has been a good week. I have been feeling well physically. I have been working out, going out with the kids, watching t-ball, baseball, soccer and running races. These are the moments that keep me going as my kids smiles while doing these activities is priceless!

My middle child, who is very attached to his Momma, has been having a difficult time with me being away and going to the hospital on a daily basis. In his little mind he is so confused and doesn’t understand. I decided to bring him (Brody) and my daughter (Natalie) to the hospital with me on a “quick day” of radiation and doctor appointment. My oldest son, Bobby was in school. Since bringing them the questions have lessened and we had a good day!

After meeting with my medical oncologist, it was decided due to my hearing loss that the chemo plan is changing. I will still be getting the same drug, but rather than having a strong dose every three weeks I am changing to a smaller dose on a weekly basis. This means every Monday for the next four weeks I will be having a chemo treatment. The case of the Monday blues is really real! I will have radiation, have bloodwork, meet with the doctor and then have a four hour infusion. That’s a looonnnggg day! The following day I will have a two hour fluid flush with a radiation treatment.

Right now I have four more weeks of going to treatment every weekday with my last radiation treatment scheduled on June 28, 2019. Seriously if I could just snap my fingers and get through the month of June that would be awesome, however reality is that’s not going to happen. So for today I’m just going to pray the chemo doesn’t hit me as hard as it did the first round and my hearing doesn’t continue to worsen.
