My 3rd chemo treatment went well as far as no nausea this round. However my red blood cells are down and I may need a blood transfusion next week. My energy level after chemo is little to none this time around. I do my weekly blood work on Monday August 15th and once those resuts are back, the doctors will make a decision then. I should have blood results back by no later than Wednesday and will update this blog at that time. We just got back from 2 days at Schlitterbahn New Braunfels water park and though that probably didn't help increase my red blood count, I don't regret going. We had such a great time and it was so nice to take one last trip before school starts back. We have been trying to live as normal lives as possible but I do realize I may have to slow it down a bit since I do still have 3 more treatments to go. At this point I have lost 11 lbs since I started chemo on June 29th, so I don't think that is too bad, just glad I have the weight to loose since I still have 9 more weeks to go with my chemo treatments.
I would like to thank all of you for your love and support. You really do find out who cares about you when you go through something like this. The love has been overwelming from my family and friends, but I have always known I have great people in my life. This has been one crazy journey but I know it's happening for a reason. Many people have told me because of my breast cancer they are getting their first checkups and that means a lot to me because early detection is so important.
Once I know more, I will update everyone.
