Trying to Take it Easy

The funny thing about this picture is that the other end of the couch looks pretty much the same! My sister, who is sick, and I, who am not feeling good today either, are covered up in blankets alternating coffee with hot water with lemon and watching a Lifetime movie. I tried to do too much around the house this morning, and now I am not feeling well. I forget every week that I really just need to take it easy the first couple of days after treatment. The immunotherapy seems to make me feel worse than the Chemo alone. I am good with it, just frustrated when I want to get some things done. Tom and I were just talking over coffee this morning about possibly trying to get a second opinion at Mayo, depending on what my CT results come back with in December. If all is well, I will stay here. If all is not well, we may consider moving to Rochester so that I can get treatment at Mayo. There are tons of variables, but it was just something we thought we’d start entertaining in our minds if we think we might need to. Now that I am getting closer to the start of Cycle 4, I am getting more anxious about CT results. It has been nice not having to worry or make decisions for a while now. I have really felt like I don’t even have cancer. It is just days like today that remind me I do. So, today, I will take it easy and pray that the chemo and immunotherapy are “working” and pray for a Christmas miracle.
