Today is Wednesday, Day 38 since this journey began. At CCI yesterday, the doctor said that he is worried about me. I seem to have lost my positive spirit. I agree!! I am worried about me, but I am trying to hold on to my positive spirit. It is very difficult. By this time [the week after treatment], I usually feel pretty good. Not 100%, but good. I would be driving a little and managing to run some errands. Not this time. Apparently three chemo treatments cause quite a toll on a person's body. I am still weak and my mouth is better, but I am still not able to eat much. If this sounds like a pity party, I don't mean for it to be. I am just being honest about how I feel. When I go next week for treatment 4, the doctor said he might give me an extra week off so my body can recoup. That's sounds really good to me.
I am trying to remain positive and am counting my blessings today. Thanks to each of you who reads this for your prayers and encouragement. I know some of you check the blog, but don't leave a comment. I would really like to see some comments this time.

Sounds like you have an attentive and sensitive doctor. How wonderful! Hope you get a little recoup time. You and your family are always in our prayers.
Oh love, you are in our prayers. That's a lot of chemo to go through!
We haven't met yet, but I am a friend of Dana's and both of you have been in my prayers! You have an amazing family and I consider myself lucky to know them. It is evident to me everyday just how much they love you. I hope things improve soon! Take care, Sonja
I'm sure it's hard to stay positive, when you're body is going through so much. I'm glad the doctor is keeping a close eye on you and can make adjustments. I love you so much and am praying for you constantly. Keep your head up and text/call/face time whenever!
Praying for you also. When so many people are praying for you, sometimes you can actually feel the strength coming from above. I hope you can feel all of our prayers.
