Sharing pics from our mini photo shoot. Thanks to Elizabeth Orrell for taking these fun edgy pics to commemorate 2020 and how much we have all pushed through to get
Friday Back on campus at MGH for my Chemo round 2. Starts with accessing the port and drawing blood work. Then an appointment with the NP for the orders followed by a trip to the 8th floor to have the infusions, hydration and potassium and magnesium. Hoping the kidneys look better today. Wearing my new socks since there was no cool hair for the day now that I’m down to stubble Took my steroids last night and this morning. Expecting to be up all night again! They make your brain go crazy. Kids are asking for new masks so maybe I’ll be making masks tonight. Patrick also needs a mask and sax cover for band to prevent the spread of infection. They got permission for indoor band so I am happy for them. Not sure how they would do it out in the cold. So the perort is good kidneys were perfect Efgr back in the 100s tolerated high dose TCF chemo fine and my friend the FU pump is back for four days so bew...
3/23 I’m walking on sunshine and it’s time to feel good. https://youtu.be/CKh0dLIuIu8 I’m all over the place this morning. Dropped kate at the bus at 6. Took a shower (something I usually don’t do it there isn’t an hour to rest after) Have early appointments with Dr Chan and Dr Wirth. Waiting to hear the results of my two month scans. Yes. It’s been two months since I was treated with chemo and radiation. It’s been the hardest two months outside of the times when declan had open heart surgery and my dad was at the brigham. I struggle with appetite and fatigue and am the only person I know who doesn’t want to lose weight. I now weigh less than I did when I got married at 22. And to be honest I have plenty to lose. But in the right way. I look in the mirror and don’t recognize myself sometimes. The buzz cut with the cr...
Sunday How am I feeling? Not too bad actually. Ran to the grocery store this morning and found myself darting through the aisles to avoid a certain couple and excitedly made it out the door without seeing anyone else I knew. Opened the bomb pops on the way home which are my favorite thing this weekend. No nausea or pain. Food aversions are strong and probably the worst symptom in have. (And I have to say if the food aversions are the worst symptom this week then it’s going to be a great week!) I watched Baby Driver. What a great movie. Having the ringing in my ears from the chemo really helped me relate to Baby and his challenges. I would recommended everyone watch this movie. It was action packed. I had no idea it was a heist film with a great theme. Five stars. Lastly, we took step 2 of the Chem...
