Chemo treatment #8

I did chemo treatment #8 on Monday, January 30 and got the pump off on Wednesday, February 1. 
This is a very busy time at work - we had the Annual Meeting on Sunday, January 30 - and ran the Annual Reports for that meeting on Friday, January 28.  Then next it was on to printing the W-2's & 1099's and W3 and 1096 and W3N - then end of the month paychecks.  I felt very good on Monday and Tuesday, which was a big help to get all of this done that has to be done by certain deadlines. 
On Wednesday however, I came home early as I wasn't feeling good.  Did a little snoozing on the couch in the afternoon, but then before John came home from work I got sick.  And then I was sick again in the middle of the night - will talk to Dr. H about that on my next appt, as he said he could give me something else for the nausea.  I also had been having some tingling in my toes - kind of like the tingling in my hands to cold when I have the pump on.  Dr. H told me that was from the infusion chemo, and if it continued that he could cut back a little on that chemo.  Knock on wood - so far this time it hasn't been nearly as bad.  Thursday and Friday I had to go out and get a neupagen shot - on Saturday I had to go to the hospital to get the shot.  Luckily John was home so he could take me - if it would have been just me, I would have cancelled.  The streets were very slick and the visibility was very low!  I bet we probably had five inches of snow when we went out there at 8:00 a.m.  Picked up some oatmeal and breakfast burritos on the way home.  When we got home John started some chili - and boy does it smell good!  Then he went out and did a little plowing with the tractor.  I had brought home some paperwork to go through and I got that all done.  Just started the dishwasher and John thinks it's time to try out the chili (it's delicious by the way!).  Will work on some laundry now.  Maybe in between loads I can work on my office to organize the GOTRA stuff so I can start getting ready for income tax. 
I'm feeling really good at this end of the week, which is different than the last couple of treatments - it's taken me into the second week to get any energy back.  I have four more treatments to go and will finish up the last week of March.  Needless to say I am anxious to get this all over and done with.  Then I guess we'll see where we go from there.  I certainly want to thank everyone for their good wishes - and am always very aware of the people that are praying for me through this journey - I couldn't do what I need to do without all the support from my friends and my family.  Love you all!
