I am feeling much better. Probably 95 percent of myself. All of the chemo symptoms for the most part have gone, with a mild exception of fatigue. Today, I had the bone infusion via IV at the doctor's office. Supposedly, there should be no side effects with that treatment, although I should expect some joint pain and some muscle pain... some people don't get that. So far, I feel pretty good.
One of the reasons I haven't posted in a while is when they put the port-a-cath in my right arm, they cut me up pretty good. That is well on its way to healing, but sometimes it hurts, as you would expect something to hurt where they cut you in order to implant something. Hopefully, as time goes by, that will hurt less and less.
Overall, I feel fantastic, mentally, physically, and spritually. I have hope for my future. I thank God for the day that I have, for the people around me. I hope this continues. Since I start my second round of chemo next Monday, this will be a good baseline to see just how the treatment affects me in terms of fatigue and other side effects. Ideally, I can begin to predict how my body will react and begin some sort of planning for the future.
