Chemo 11

One more.

It was Brett and I's anniversary the day before treatment, so he got a hotel in downtown SLC which is much closer to the hospital we go to and we wouldn't have to deal with morning traffic.  It was nice to have a change of scenery, be without the kids, and to have yummy Indian food. 

I met with my NP this time since my doctor was gone.   I got a prescription to help with my stomach aches. Apparently what I've been experiencing are stomach ulcers.  It makes sense! 

My white blood count was up just a little bit from last time.  Surprising, but I'm still very much neutropenic.  

We scheduled out my next appointment after chemo is done---which isn't until December 7th!  I'll have a scan right before that so we can discuss the results at the appointment.  The end hopefully is happening! 

Nothing really new with the day of treatment.  Still felt like blah, but there were so many people there to help me.  Ladies from my neighborhood and ward came and cleaned my house and then others brought me meals each night.  

I'm so thankful for people hanging there with me, visiting me, and sending me love even though this has been a long show.

I had some very cute and little distractions this week.  Two of my close friends had their babies!!! There's nothing like holding a baby straight from heaven. AND I figured it was a very germ-safe activity. Haha.    

Happy 8 years to us!
