Just in case anyone was wondering....this is what they've got me on now:

The treatments are longer than what Ive had in the past (Three hours) and Ive always pushed for friday morning treatments.....and it looks like im stuck with Tuesday afternoons. The chemo room just isnt jumpin like it is on Fridays, but its still three hours of watching tv so I cant complain.
Of all the side effects, Im primarily just suffering from low white counts. Other than that I just need to stay hydrated. Ive had some itchy skin and a hint of nausea but other than that im still feeling fine!
Just looking to get back into the swing of things at work. I feel like Ive been gone a week!
Happy Wednesday All!

- I changed the look again. Moving furniture takes too much effort. This seemed to fill that void. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fall and havent decided if Ill ever change this, although, a new seasonal header seems like fun. At the moment the summer is winding down, Im back on chemo for my fantastic THIRD relapse (and hopefully the last!), work knows my situation so Im not sneaking off on my lunch break to get blood work done, and everyones been great. Desperately seeking great health by the time fall rolls around. Theres way too much goin on.
Above is the "Chemoquilt" my mother-in-law made from all the scarves I wore during my 1st round of chemo in 2003

Keep up the good work, and make sure you keep everyone up to date on how things are. There are plenty of people who check up regularly so let us know if you need anything.
