Hey everyone, hope you all had a great weekend. Round 2 went well no major issues. I think I have figured this out for this time. But don't quote me on that lol. I go for chemo treatments on Fridays usually. I feel pretty good for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday thank goodness. Then usually the Monday I start to get fatigued and the Tuesday, and Wednesday land me in bed. The nice thing is so far it's just bed and not the H.
Busy week coming up, I have a bunch of running around today. Tomorrow I am getting my hair done and watching my grandson for a bit. Wed housework and brunch with my friend Betty. Thursday I see the Oncologist and Friday getting ready for Jenn and Dorey's wedding and chemo. Friday night rehearsal dinner, Saturday wedding and Sunday run for the cure.
Have a great week!!

Round 2 tomorrow
I have had a pretty busy week, and have been super tired. The positive note is no fever!!! WOOHOO. Monday I went to Langley for dinner with my family for my sisters bday. I felt pretty good Monday no real issues. On Tuesday I became really sore in my upper back and tired I was in bed at 7:30pm and slept most of the day and all day Wednesday.
Wednesday night I got up at 3pm cut Marcel's hair and we went to Langley to meet my parents and my aunt and uncle for dinner. I was pretty tired so we didn't stay long. Today I am feeling like I have more energy which is good as I start chemo #2 tomorrow afternoon.
We have a breast cancer fundraiser Friday night and then a relaxing weekend for me.
Take care,
Liane

1 down 11 more to go...
San Francisco was amazing, Marcel and I had a great time. Sorry I haven't updated in awhile was enojoying my week of doing nothing :)
Back to reality, so on Tuesday I went to the hospital to get my bone strengthener IV all was good and went smoothly. That night however I stated to get very sore up in my T3 area so I went to bed early. I ended up taking tylenol 3's all night I was in alot of pain. Then at around 11am I checked my temperature 39.5 c not good. I called my oncologist she got back to me later in the day and told me to try some advil to bring down the fever and let her know if it didn't change. At about 8pm my fever started to go down thank goodness.
I was a little bummed out when I got home from San Francisco I was hoping to have a date and time for chemo but they didn't have me scheduled. It ended up they called me Thursday afternoon and I was scheduled last minute Friday for 1:30pm. I am taking 2 drugs for chemo Cisplatin and Gemcitabine. The treatments run for about 2 hours in total. I felt really good so far after my first treatment but today day 3 my taste buds are starting to change I am a bit nauseous and a little worn out.
We had a great weekend though after chemo we headed out camping at Gill it was beautiful weather and all the kids made it out at one time or another over the weekend. Jenn, Dorey and Jaxtyn came out and Jaxtyn had his first overnight camping adventure. He is one month old today.
Have a great week! Next chemo Friday Sept 19.
Cheers

Got me a new FOOB
It's hard to believe it has been 2 years since I went and was fitted for my 1st FOOB. Now it's 2 years later and I just went and got myself FOOB number 2. Apparently this model is upgraded, so now I have a spare FOOB. For those of you who don't know FOOB is my fake boob.
So with my new FOOB I am super excited to wear it as we head off to San Francisco for the weekend. I have always wanted to go to San Francisco and this year I am just gonna do it. So Marcel and I are heading there tomorrow for the weekend. It will be so nice to get away before I start my treatments.
I am supposed to start chemo next week ughhh. But for now I am going to enjoy everything I can be thankful for.
Luv ya!!!
