Well, its been a long day with appointments through out. Also had some MRI's yesterday. So the past two days have been exhausting. The Chemo hasnt caused too much havoc yet, other than it has me fatigued easily. Sooo... all and all, just been tired the last two days. Feeling good. WEAK, but good. MRI's of my back gave us some good news, in that it showed where radiation has had a positive effect on the areas of my spine where they hoped it would. The tumors seemed to be more controled, smaller in size maybe... and there is no nerve or spinal cord damage or risk their of. So that was great. All the weakness and numbness I am expiriencing is, as stated before, a side effect of the combination of drugs they have me on, which we are taking care of. Sounds like we are on track with everything, and time will tell.
Looking forward to relaxing and getting some rest the next couple days. More appointments next week, but we are on track, and thats a good thing. The support, once again, has been amazing! I keep saying that, but its sooo true. I cant say thank you enough. I tell those around me all the time, that I cannot imagine having to go at this any other way... without everyones support and help it wouldnt be possible.
