Vacation...Reality

We just arrived home from a week in Myrtle Beach. The weather was awesome (HOT!), accomodations were okay (there's no place like home...I think I've heard that somewhere before), good eatin'. The best part of the week was the company...doesn't get any better than the hubby, kids, and grandkids. I think the most "fun" thing was watching the excitement in Logan playing miniature golf for the first time.
The week ahead holds round 2 for me of my chemo maintenance. I'm praying I will tolerate this round much better than I did the last time.

Post Independence Day

One week ago I started my chemo maintenance, which inclues a 5-day (per month) pill regiment at a much higher dosage. The first day did not go well at all. Tuesday and Wednesday were a little better. However, Thursday was the worst by far...not able to keep any of the medicine down. By Friday, they adjusted my medication for nausea and things took a 180-degree turn. I kept everything where it was suppose to be, and had no stomach issues to boot. Atleast we have it figured out (hopefully) for the next 5-day cycle at the end of July.

Thanks for your continued prayers....hope you had a wonderful July 4th!
