Happy Day

Since we are all women here I am just going to say it...I started my period and I am so happy!!!Yippee. While most days when this happens I groan and suffer through the next few days as best I can, today is a day to rejoice. My Oncologist warned me that the chemo could put me into early menopause and all the nasty side effects that go with it....hot flashes, mood swings....something that at my age I was not looking forward to. So when my little friend showed up it brought me great joy. I will never complain about it again. I know I am not out of the woods yet since I have 4 more treatments to go but for now I am celebrating. God is good.

Well I am off to have bloodwork done. Between day 10 and 15 after chemo is when my blood counts drop so they want to know where they are since last time they went way too low. It is the first time Kentville is going to try to use my portocath so I will let you know how that goes. Say a prayer that the counts are within acceptable limits so I don't have to go on that drug therapy.
