Day 150 - Mixed feelings

So I had another chemo a couple of days ago. Before starting it, I saw the doctor who gave me her blessing to eat sushi and play soccer - which may sound silly, but try not doing things you really like for over 6 months and you will know what I mean. So that made me pretty happy.

The chemo session itself was the same as before. It took just under an hour and I vomited once right before leaving the clinic. No big deal there. But the day after was a little rough. I had never vomited on the day after before. And this time that happened a couple of times. Not to mention that I felt pretty miserable during the day, I didn't get out of bed until the evening.

This mix of feeling happy about suhsi and soccer and feeling crappy because of chemo made me realize that I am pretty tired of the treatment. 5 sessions to go, it's almost over.

I can't wait to start saying this in the past tense, but for now... I won't bend, I won't break

Day 135 - Another Good Chemo

I went in for another chemo yesterday. Like the last one, it took just under two hours and I vomited once, when it was over.

It's funny how much things change in a month. A month ago I had 8 sessions left that were going to take 8-10 hours each. Absolutely brutal, it felt like forever. Now I have 6 sessions to go and I can almost see the end of the tunnel. The doctor said that I might have to go through radiotherapy as well (she will discuss that further with her colleagues). It would be that one last punch to knock out the beast, so I am not too worried about it.

So yeah, this was just a quick update on things. I know I have been slacking on my posts, but there is a lot going on here, from planning our wedding to figuring out stuff about our apartment, to studying for my masters. For those who know me, you know I always liked my plate pretty full, eh?

PS: I won't bend, I won't break
