I have now had 11 chemos and the side effects are adding up. I have good days and bad days, just never know what kind of day it is going to be. But the bad days aren't really bad just achy hands but manageable with acetaminophen alone. The day after my last chemo I slept 5 hours then up for 2 hours then to bed for 12 hours. But the sleep is good and the next day I was up at 5:30 am (time change) and made some banana bread for Ashton and strawberry and chocolate scones for David. Then we were off to watch Ashton run her first half marathon! 1:43:50 chip time and we are all so happy for her.
Enjoying every moment. My beloved bringing me breakfast in bed is one of the sweet joys of life. Watching the leaves change colour is another. So many things to be thankful for.
I learned that life is not just a destination but a journey.
While the expedition can be long and arduous, it can be full of
beauty and pleasure as well.
