Chemo Treatment #6 - HALFWAY!

Did chemo treatment #6 on January 3 - and wore the pump until Thursday, January 5.  #6 is halfway through - so I will be finished at 12 treatments (that will be in March 2012).  (Dr. H's office was closed because of the holiday, so we were out of sync on the days - we are however back on to John's Monday & Tuesday off schedule!)  Early Friday morning I had some nausea and vomiting - not sure what that was about, but did use one of my anti-nausea pills and that seemed to take care of it.  On Friday morning I went into Dr. H's office to get a neupagen shot - it is to stimulate white blood cell count.  Saturday morning we went to the hospital to get a shot.  Had lots of trips to the bathroom today, not sure what that was about either.  We were supposed to go help my greatnephew celebrate his third birthday today - but I decided that I better stay home and rest.  Sunday morning I will go back to the hospital to get a shot and then on Monday and Tuesday I will get the shot at Dr. H's office - for a total of five shots.  Hopefully this will circumvent any other problems with low blood count that would keep me from having a treatment.  Monday I will go back in to do bloodwork. It was a crazy week at work - of course we are trying to get all the financial stuff rounded up so that we can close out the year and do Annual Reports - and then go on to W-2's & 1099's.  This is always a crazy time of year.  The boys went to the Monster Trucks on Friday night at the MAC - and I found myself dozing off throughout the night.  John is on his sixth year as an Elder and changed committees this year - instead of being on Building & Property Committee, he is on Membership & Fellowship Committee - their first meeting is this coming Tuesday night.  Carrie is being ordained as a Deacon Sunday at the 9:00 a.m. worship service - so I can't miss that!  Because John is also ordained, when they do the "laying on of hands", he will be able to do that to Carrie for her ordination.
