The Week Off!

After careful consideration and a long look at the calendar, we decided this week was the perfect week to take off! Yea! I will be off for Halloween (4 kids in elementary...that's lots of parties to juggle), off again for Thanksgiving and the week after Christmas. I will have treatment the week of Christmas but that just means I will have to plan and be organzied and done with shopping before my treatment. Christmas for the last 2 years have been consumed with surgery or chemo, so it's really nothing new. I will be on a break for the kid's first week of their vacation. That works for me.

I've scheduled my CT scan for Wednesday. Maybe this will be the time that I actually leave that place with a good feeling! My dr said I didn't have to drink the barium when I complained it made me really sick but when I made my appointment they said that I have to. Ugh! Once upon a time my friendly CT tech (she has been the same one to administer every CT i've had there) offered me a different cocktail for frequent flyers such as myself. She said she offers it to all of her chemo patients. So now I am a member of the special cocktail club. Who said chemo doesn't have it's perks!

My mind set right now is to get throught the CT (pray for shrinking little tumors) and more regularly eliminate the frequency of treatments. I am not sure if that is realistic but I am still feeling very done. Chemo sucks!
