I have a 4-hour chemo treatment every three weeks. Still feeling great except for 3 days or so around my treatment. The main side effect is extreme tiredness, and that passes in 3-4 days. Next week, I have a body scan to determine if they will stop treatment, continue as is or change the chemistry. Since I still feel good, I'm hoping they can continue.
Ive manages to, as I've said before, get all my personal affairs in order. Some of you may remember mom's John. I've taken him to the Atty and my cousin is stepping up for him as HCPOA and Financial POA with some backup from Tom. That's my final gift to mom. I know she is happy about that.
He just turned 89. Getting confused and losing his short term memory. Still a jerk underneath it all just like he was thirty years ago. But, as my atty told me, "Don't let how John acts define who you are." I like that a lot. Works.
As I've said before, I'm blessed. Trips to Florida...one coming up end of the month, Lord willing, with cousin Sue. Friends coming from SC to visit in a few weeks. A Christmas Lights Trolly Ride planned in Chicago's Loop with friends. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners with good friends and family. Too many kindnesses to list, big and small...magnificent and tiny.
Tom is wonderful. Sometimes I'm crabby. He understands. I sense many of you here may understand as well.
Its really not not so bad, actually. I'm kind of amazed. Don't worry about commenting. This is my therapy.
I'll let let you know how my my scan turns out.
