How YOU Doin’?

I am doing so well right now. I have spent time with my extended in-law family in Florida for a wedding, I have spent time with my dad and grandma, and now my mom is here. So, life is good. I haven’t thought about cancer much at all. My pain in my neck and in my rib is gone. So, for the first time in a long time, cancer is pretty far from my mind. I am just enjoying summer and being NED.

It’s nice to have my mom here at chemo with me today. I think she is who I get my strength from. She has always believed in me and supported me and made me feel like I can do anything I set my mind to. And my mind is set on staying NED as long as possible. I want this regimen to keep working as long as possible. I’ve started drinking pomegranate juice again after I had to take a break from it for drinking too much of it. If it helps the immunotherapy work, I’m all for it! My friend sent me a bottle for my birthday! Perfect!

Not much to write about today because everything is going so well, and I’m doing so well lately! I’m not worrying, I’m not thinking too much about cancer right now, and I am finally able to just live in the present for now! I tell my kids to not worry about things until they have to, and I’m trying to follow my own advice while things are so good right now! No real side effects from the meds other than the usual fatigue. I wear out pretty easily in the afternoons, so I need to be most productive in the mornings.

I am no longer tired during and after chemo, so I am going to enjoy the rest of this beautiful day at the pool with Mom. Hope everyone is having a nice summer so far. I’ll write from chemo again in two weeks!
