Last night Santa came early. He left my gift outside vs down the chimney and the language isn't so good. He left 3 fuck cancer t-shirts for me and my mom & dad. Guess he didn't think the 4th was needed for my bro...maybe he's been naughty LOL. Being the good sister I am, Shane can have the t-shirt if he so desires! Thanks to my secret Santa for the t-shirts, you should have left a card...ps L not XL give me some credit ha ha ha ha
Today was day 6, or the start of week 2. After a rough first week, I feel more prepared of what could come and how to handle it. More rest, fluids and take my new nausea pill every 6 hours! There's no "hoping my body deals with it" crap...taking the meds & listening to my doctors is my action plan. Petra came for a visit during chemo today and told me a funny kid story that still has me laughing...& it hurts to laugh! Ouch!
After treatment I was feeling up to an outing so mom and I set off to Sophie's for lunch. Saw my dear friend Candice (we say wives in humor) and had a nice meal. My anxiety has cooled off but I still struggle slightly with the large crowd and noise which would never have been a concern pre-cancer. A healing herbal tea was recommended by some other cancer patients so we picked this up today too. It's like a detox kind of idea and JFKs doctor was the leader in its research. I'll start using it as of tomorrow.
One thing I didn't blog about is the #carly2conquercancer bracelets. There is a pic attached on here in the Instagram slide show if you'd like to see it. I have one order already done and can easily place an other order if you'd like one. They're all leather and cost 15$ with 2$ going to cancer research. Let me or any member of my posse know if you'd like one. We'll hook you up!
This time last week I was in a black hole and right now I feel great. Knock on wood this feeling lasts through the night and 19 more days!
