Day 1 of Chemo...11 more to go
Today I started chemo. I have to go for 6 months(2 weeks on, 2 weeks off). Today was day 1 of 12, I went at 8:30am, it's now 11am, and so far I don't feel any ill effects from chemo(so far so good). I am starting to feel better each day(good days, bad days..). I'm now eating more, but not as much as I would like(trying to get back up to eating speed before Ashley's Grad BBQ..ha ha). Sorry I haven't posted to update people, but the first couple of weeks I did alot of napping after eating. I'm finally starting to walk more upright(not like a caveman..ha ha). We got the tumor boards back, and all the margins were negitive(which means the surgeon got all of the physical tumor out), it did involve 3 lymph nodes on a microscopic level( this is the reason for the chemo, so it doesn't pop up in another part of my body a year from now. Hopefully I'll be able to go back to some sort of normal life within the year, and I'll try to post more often.
