Treatment #3 Tomorrow

Well, things have been going pretty well, all other things considered. I go for treatment #3 tomorrow and so far so good! They did blood work on me last week and my cholesterol and lipids were elevated, but that is one of the expected side effects of the chemotherapy so no surprise there. The doctor has put me on Tricor to help keep both cholesterol and the lipids somewhat in check. And since the elevated levels are being caused by the medicines, I don't need to change my diet or eating habits (YAY!!) They will of course check those levels every week to make sure they don't get out of control. My white blood count was slightly lower than average, but it's still in a healthy range, as well as my platelet count so that's good news. But other than that, I haven't had any bad side effects!! No fatigue, nausea, or mouth sores so I've been very blessed. And since I've been feeling so well between treatments, I was able to go home to Auburn this past weekend to spend time with Jason!! It was a much needed, last minute surprise so it has done a lot to lift my spirits. And as long as things continue the way they have been, I'll be feeling well enough to travel as often as I can without worrying about being tired or sick! Thanks to all of you for your prayers and support and I will continue to keep you updated as things progress. Love you all!!
