Today is my 3rd round of chemotherapy - that means I'm halfway done! Hurray! Had a good meeting with my doctor this morning. Health-wise everything is great - I'm tolerating the meds well. The bad news is he is highly discouraging my planned trip to Seattle for Steph's birthday and the Chargers game. I had my labs done last weekend to correspond with when I would be traveling during the 5th round of chemo. To travel my blood counts needed to be between 1000 and 1500. Mine were 68 (no I did not forget a 0). Very low. That means the chemo is kicking the hell out of my immune system. (At 50 I would be hospitalized for observation) I could overrule the doctor and go anyway, but 2 planes and a stadium full of people who live without sunlight is probably not the smart thing to do.
Anyway, I'm feeling good. I put on my long blonde wig yesterday to get some pizza and Jake said, "Mom! You look just like Hannah Montana!" I love that boy!
