2.

Thank goodness for Tylenol and heat warmers. My body aches have become bearable. I decided to go out to the bookstore today. Got two books. Girly. But hopefully good reads. Than to Target to get a fabric steamer to iron out the muslin for the photo backdrop. [that project I will do tomorrow]. So far just looking ahead towards the weekend. Definitely some smiles planned for fourth of July, which includes some extra time not being alone at the house (always a good thing).

So the hair is falling out more than usual. As in it is on the pillow and in the shower, but I have Martin's wedding to go to just around the corner, so I don't plan on shaving until after that. But I definitely see why people just go ahead and shave it. Psychologically, it is not fun just waiting around for it to fall out.

Other than that, nothing horrible. Good day =]

Day 1? More like a month or so since diagnosis...

First post. I'm trying to bounce back after this treatment as much as I can. It's just hard to get rid of that need to sleep. And half the time it is way too hot to even think about sleeping, but I feel exhausted. So, it makes me frustrated. My bones are aching, but I tried working out and stretching and took some Tylenol, so I am feeling less miserable. I read on blogs about certain over the counter drug medications that could work like Claritin. But, I still have this weird thing about taking drugs on chemo. Like I'm not putting enough crap in my body already. Hmph.

But, nonetheless, fifth day after chemo infusion #2 I am doing better than last time. Just the bone aches get to you. My sister is going for her appointment today for the cervical cancer. I still cannot believe that that in itself is happening. My heart goes out to her for even having to deal with that. 

I continue to read blogs online from lymphoma patients. It takes the sting away from knowing it might be a little longer of a journey. But let's just kick this thing in the butt and get it over with. My dad asked me the other day if I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. Yes, I do. It might be faint and overwhelming, but I do see that I will survive. It is a journey that I must take, and when I look back it will be something I will never forget. 

Well, I need to keep my mind preoccupied so I must choose which project to work on today. =]
