Chemo Rounds 2 & 3

Hey all!

A lot has happened since my last post.  I've had 2 more rounds of chemo.  The last time that I went in, they did a sonogram to see if the chemo was having any impact on the cancer.  And I am happy to report that we received good news.  The tumor that was in my lymph node is gone, and the tumor in my breast has shrunk by half.  The doctors said something that we haven't heard in over a year of sickness and doctor's appointments, that this was the best case scenario happening.  So we are feeling pretty blessed. 

Lately though, the actual treatment has been an all day event.  I go in at 9:00am, and I usually don't get to leave until 8:00pm.   This is mostly because I had a bit of a reaction to one of the medications.  So they gave me some Benadryl and monitored me for awhile.  My next treatment is scheduled for the Friday after Thanksgiving.  Not exactly how I wanted to spend my holiday.  Oh well, at least the treatment is working, which is giving us all some peace of mind.

Have a great Thanksgiving!  :-)
