Well, chemo doesn't get any easier. I finished round 4 Saturday, and I've been mostly horizontal since. The cumulative effect of several rounds has me feeling "more chemical" than ever before; food tastes metallic, I have neuropathy (a condition where my skin is very sensitive to cold), and I have a strange, drugged-like feeling of fatigue that is different than before. But as I write this at 1:10 am Monday morning, I am starting to come out of it.

This is my first post for a week, but I guess I made up for it a little by posting on Facebook. It was great to get so many encouraging replies, at a time that I was feeling pretty discouraged about doing another round. Many, many thanks to those of you who sent love and encouragement! It truly does make a difference for me, I do believe in the healing power of positive energy, and I am using you all as my energy source. I even found that my old friend Linda Scimeca is a cancer coach, and she is coming over to help me later today. I am so grateful for all of you.

Tuesday is a big day for me, I go to Hopkins for scans and tests to see what affect the chemo has had. If it's good news, I'm sure I'll be posting soon. Bad news, I'm not so sure... Let's all hope for the best.
