Four Down, Two to Go!
Just got home from chemo number 4! Feels so good to be over the hump. Just two left! I've feel good the last couple of days and was able to be quite productive around the house. Daniel went with me today. My numbers were good, so despite the cdiff, etc. we were able to move forward on schedule, which I'm very thankful for. It's no picnic, but I just want to get it all behind me.
I started acupuncture at Beaumont's Integrative Medicine office this week. Hoping it will help with the hot flashes. It's supposed to work great. I still was up with them last night but only 3 or 4 -- that's actually an improvement. They're also going to target my digestive system to help with the cdiff, etc. Even better -- they informed me when I got there that oncology patients get half off while they're in treatment! Excellent news as acupuncture isn't covered by insurance. They have lots of other services there I may utilize as well. I did acupuncture for a long time while I was in Chicago which cured me of a few ailments, so I'm all in and hoping for the best.
Feeling sleepy, so time for a snack and a nap. Looking forward to amazing sounding vegan calzones tonight via my talented friend Angela, who's our MealTrainer today. Continue to be so thankful for that. Even on days when I feel pretty good it really is so nice mentally and financially to have dinner arrive. I'm still eating a pretty restricted diet because of the cdiff -- no big bad cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, celery, etc, but baby stepping back in. So far so good the last couple of days. I need to get this infection behind me -- there are things to do and new babies to meet!
