Yesterday was day 1 of round 3 of chemo. My counts were a little low, but not enough to change treatment. I can't use the veins in my left hand now. The hand stays sore for a long time. We used a vein in the right arm. If things look good after the CAT scan in 3 weeks, I may get a port. It's very painful to get these needles, and then if they have to move it around or do it again, it's just not fun.
I got the usual chills and headache, but slept for 4 hours. Today I just feel kind of drugged. I'm having a pelvic ultrasound today. I've been getting an intermittent knife-sharp pain when I bend over a certain way. The Dr. took out my IUD (I don't need it anymore anyyway), but that didn't do the trick. Hopefully it's just scar tissue or something.
Always a new adventure.

Just Travelling Down Abby's Road
My final journey in this life is just beginning. I've shared a previous journey a couple of years ago and found blogging to be therapeutic and a way to share with others. Some may find this macabre and others may find it helpful in their own dealings. We are all on a final journey to somewhere.

Oh, Jane, what an uphill climb you have embarked upon. But what a terrific job you are doing. Thank you for taking on this task without complaint for the sake of the people who love you. Every day you fight back is another day we can pray for a miracle. But remember that because we love you, you are in charge of this battle. We will obediently follow wherever you choose to lead us.
A port, eh? That'll give you the chance to squick me out for a change. I never did get used to PJ's port, but he did say it made things a lot easier. Then again, he didn't have a choice in the matter.
Hope they can find some relief for you on the source of that pain. The last thing you need are more surprises.
Here's to your counts staying good!
