Well, this post is already going to be rushed, so I will not be able to say everything I need in just one post! Please be patient with me. Wow, what a rough week. My birthday was so fun and wonderful thanks to so many! My flowers and cards and gift cards and texts and calls and emails just made my day! It was really fun turning 29 again! HA! Thank you so so much!
Wednesday, John and I headed to Indy to meet with Dr. M and my second round of chemo. I noticed that morning that I had a rash on my chest and kind of threw everyone into a mini-panic wondering what might be the cause- cellulitis caused by my "bad" lymph nodes in my chest going bonkers, a dermatitis from my chest being so...new ahem... Or the flip out... A different kind of breast cancer. Dr. M marked the borders of the rash and I went to see Dr. H here on Friday and she is confident it is just some sort of dermatitis! Thank you God. It is better and I am keeping an eye on it. I talked about how nauseous I was from my first round and we added another long lasting anti-vomiting med via IV HAHA hardy har... It did NOTHING! And if it did help, I could not imagine where I would be without it. I have been unbearably, incapacitatingly down for the count until really today. I was seriously in bed not moving and trying not to vomit or start vomiting because if I did, I have no idea when I would have been able to stop. Ugh. I know that I should have called and gotten more meds but I honestly kept thinking that it HAD to get better at any moment! Not so much... I know that I have a plethora of meds to choose from and know I need to be more pro active about getting them. I will admit that I am definitely gun shy about my next round.
When I missed Thankful Thursday, John said I should write a Forgetful Friday hahaha- he's a funny one that guy! But by then, I was so crappy, no posts were going to happen until now.
There are so many things I need to write. You know how I like my documentation! But it is time to get Margo from school.
Smooches, Kate
Happy to read that you are up and about :)
