Had my 4th round of chemo on Thursday - it went fine...only ONE needle poke!!! WOW, that nurse is getting something special:)
I met with the doctor before treatment - found out that the doc I had been working with has been placed somewhere else with Providence...so I saw a very nice, retired doctor this time, and will meet another doctor next time...and so it goes...anyway, she was telling me (and Jasen) that 4 rounds of the chemo I am on doesn't necessarily make a difference in the long run, vs. 6 rounds (which was the original plan) - so now I don't know what to do...some research and time will give the answer hopefully...a little bit of an overwhelming decision I think...because I want to be as aggressive as possible, but will that really help???
So, in 3 weeks, I'll either have chemo again, or I'll start Hormone Therapy (Lupron), which I will have once a month for at least 2 years, and I will also start taking other meds for at least 5 years...these will put me into pre-menopause...another thing to think about:)
All a bit overwhelming, but lots to be thankful for...a beautiful, loving family...lots of great friends, and a great place to go to work each day:)
Let's keep taking this ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!!!!!!
