It was exciting getting ready for work this morning. Things have been going good the last two days. I have just a few symptoms for now. I have a metal taste that comes and goes, I sometimes feel like a bobble head when I walk and I feel giddish at times. It's really scary to have all these powerful drugs in your body, when we've always been told to stay away from harmful drugs. But I guess harmful drugs are good for you when you need them. My appetite has changed and pizza just don't sound good. Been eating lots of fruits and green veggies. I have a list of things that I should and shouldn't eat.
I try my best to stay positive and so far I haven't cried since Wednesday. I kinda lost it when I had to sign the papers to receive chemo. Thomas said he seen a tear fall from my cheek onto the floor. Sarah and Sandra was so strong for me they took hold of my hands while I broke down as I set in the chemo room and they both give me "the look" and told me to be strong and we will get through this. At that moment I felt like I was the child and they were the mother. Thomas also took my hand and held it while they prepared my arm.
Mental attitude is everything. I could set around and say, "Oh poor me" but that's not me. I don't need people feeling sorry for me, I need happy thoughts sent my way. I will get through this journey and I will be stronger.
I appreciate everyone who has sent me cards, text me and called me just to let me know they care. We've set all my cards on the dinning room table so that I can see them often. They make me smile...:)
