Days 12 and 13

After a ruff start to the week, things settled down and showed signs of being "normal". The shot I received on Monday made my chest and legs pretty sore by Thursday and Friday and it's finally going away. It's pretty hard to pinpoint all the physical things I feel right now and a couple of them are a sore, burning throat, stomach irritation, sore bones and being tired, all the time. These side affects are minimal and I would put my overall feeling at 70%, which is better than I would have expected. I did work on Thursday and Friday for most of the day and it was good to be there. I plan on working next week as that is the week prior to the next round of treatment, which will begin again on Monday 11/26.

One of the comments we heard was that the treatments build on each other and the effects get worse. That concerns me as the days just after treatment were not great. Where does that leave me at the end of the 4th course in January? Will it take 8 days to get over the effect of the treatment? I hope not and will not know that answer until January. Anyway, more questions than answers right now......

I am having some computer problems and have not been able to post a photo of the family or do a couple other things that I've wanted to. I have a computer friend scheduled to come by next weekend and when he cleans this up, I will add some more features and posts.
