Let's go, I guess....
im going to try to blog my way through this cancer mess, so buckle up.
The ct scan was clear except for a 5mm nodule on my lower right lung. too small to say if its cancer or not. that was a huge relief to me, bc id worked it up in my head that it was going to be everywhere.
now, going forward, i will be taking 6 cycles of chemo. carboplatin and taxol. then when thats done, ill need radiation.
i will lose my hair. im mentally prepared, but i know it will be emotional. esp w dh not here. this is so hard.
my sister has taken me to all my appts in savannah, and is set up to handle my chemo trips too. those will be in my hometown. we have a satellite campus of the cancer center here.
my mil is also on board with helping. yall, shes a rock star. shes lost all 3 of her children, but she gets up and makes the most of each day. a strong woman, indeed.
ive been browsing wigs, hats, smaller clothes, ive bought claritan for bone pain, nausea meds ready, a walker from dhs kidney surgery days, snacks, soups, popsicles, mouthwash.
ive talked w my 15 yr old son ab what is likely to happen, and how to help me. i cannot say enough good things ab this kid. he has such a good, good heart. hes ready and willing to see me through this, though i know hes scared.
my friend in florida is planning to come in the third week after chemo, to let the boys hang out, and help me. so i have a team, small as it may be.
and, lets not forget whos jn charge over all this. I will never leave you nor forsake you.
and He wont. He brought me to it, He will see me through it! Gods got me!
this weeks schedule is labs wed, and first chemo thurs. im not any kind of way right now, but when it gets here, yeah. gonna be a way or three then i have no doubt.
alright, thats enough rambling.
lets do this!
