Round 5

So, today I am sitting here getting round 5 of chemo. It'll take at least 4 hours. I have new drugs today for these rounds. The doctor said he won't give me the neulasta which is for my blood cell count because I have had a lot of trouble with that drug(the infamous bone pain).  I told him he was my favorite person today!!! There is an 80% chance I will do fine, and if not, he'll simply do the last three rounds in 3 week intervals. So I hope for no need to do that. The only issue with my blood work is anemia. My counts are a little low.

Now off of the medical stuff and on to me. As most of you know I had a bad round. I actually asked Mark if he though I was being a baby about it, and he said no. I actually asked the nurse too. She said that people react differently to chemo but I had a hard dose of chemo so what I experienced these last two weeks did not surprise her.

Also, I figured out what I have been dealing with mentally and emotionally. It's the whole control issue. I like to plan things, and I can't. That is what I am struggling with. If you have any suggestions on how to "make game-time decision" as Marks puts it, I would love to hear from you!

I'll give an update on how I feel later this weekend or week!

Happy Easter!
