Can I be honest? I have had a disappointing few days. Haven't bounced back from treatment #6 as I did from treatment #5. This time two weeks ago I was feeling really good. Today I still feel "yucky" and tired. Sometimes being the eternal optimist isn't all it's cracked up to be. Now I need to get a grip and remind myself how very blessed I am to be doing as well as I am. I could always be feeling worse. I need to remind myself that even gradual improvement each day is GOOD. And just because I don't feel as good as I think I should, that does not mean that I am not doing well.
Tomorrow is a BIG DAY!! At 8:00 I will have a PETScan that will tell my oncologist how much progress we have made in fighting this cancer. I "feel" like the chemo has been fighting the good fight, but the scan will confirm it. I am offering a "twofer" for this event. You can pray a two-pronged prayer: one - that I remain calm . . . and two - that the test results will be AMAZING!! Even though I won't learn the results until next week, I will be so happy to just have the test done. Can you believe that in preparation for the scan, I could not have carbs or sugars this afternoon and night???? What??? On Halloween??? You can be assured that I will make up for that tomorrow. I have some Reese"s Peanut Butter Cups stashed!!!
I hope that everyone has had a safe Halloween and I wish you all a Happy November!!
