Week end

I felt pretty crappy Saturday and Sunday.  Being 90 out dose not help much.  Symptoms the same as the last treatments.  I feel a little better this morning and slept much better.  Only woke up once and it didn't take hours to fall back asleep.  I weighed 197 this morning, same as when I started.  I have tried to eat three decent meals everyday even if I didn't feel like it.  I can't wait for 3 or 4 weeks to pass to see how I feel.  I need to start getting some more exercise too.

Day 63

Hooray!  The last chemo treatment is today at 11:00.  The new issue this week has been allergy symptoms.  I have been having watery eyes, running nose, etc.  I looked it up and it is a side effect of the chemo.  I have never really had that before the chemo unless I had a cold.  Some posters on a blog I read said the symptoms remained for quite awhile after their chemo ended.  I hope it goes away soon.  Every  day I get up and the crusty gunk in my eyes makes it hard to open them and kinda hard to see well at first.

Relay for Life

Here's me and Elvis just before he snuck out to grab a cheeseburger.

The little flags in front of the stage.

It was pretty good weather wise.  A little hot and humid to be walking but way better than the last week.  I wanted to stay until the Luminary Ceremony but was getting too tired.  Went home and laid down.  I was sound asleep by 9:30.  Next year I hope tp be there the whole 24 hours.

Bay County Relay for Life

Today and Sunday at the Bay County Fairgrounds.  I raised $600 for them thanks to many generous friends, relatives and co-workers.  I will get some pictures and post them.

Day 56

Everything went at the doctor's.  Last chemo will be next Friday at 11:00.  Then the two weeks of recovery and I am home free!  I don't need to go back to the doctor until the middle of September.  Then the 5 years of taking Tomoxifen starts.  That has it's own set of side effects but I am hoping it will be no big deal.

Day 53

It was great to see the family over the weekend.  I felt pretty good the whole time.  Newest issue is some sores in my mouth.  Feels like i bit my tongue a few times.   A few drops of oral gel does the trick.  I go to the doctor today.  It is a week early because he is out of town next week.  We should get the appointment set up for the LAST (hooray) chemo treatment .  It should a week from Friday.

Day 49

This week a new issue has popped up.  Leg cramps at night.  It has happened three nights.  I used to get them but it stopped when I started taking calcium everyday.  Not the end of the world but it sucks to wake up in pain.

We are going to East Lansing today.  I will be nice to see the family.
