One month down

Hey! First off, I feel really good this week!  Still get tired but not near as bad as the last few weeks! I'm hoping my week off is always this good! Unfortunately this week is going by way too fast! Ticks me off to think that this Sunday I start over again! And to top it off, my lab work came back good (which is good), this means my body is handling the treatment well and my next round of chemo won't be delayed but......this also means they are going to up my does of chemo......mixed feelings about that. So I suppose it's possible that this next month I could be more tired yet....?  ugh...... Hopefully the nausea continues to stay away!

I made a crap ton of phone calls this am figuring out insurance stuff, talking to Cleveland, calling my specialty pharmacy to make sure my meds were on the way....... feels like such a waste of time and so annoying.  But... I did find out my next appointment is May 16.  They really don't expect to see any change yet.  They are just hoping for no more growth.  At this point I'm not concerned about it at all.

I'm doing well with the oils and such but failing miserable with my diet..... I need to come up with a plan. I do so much better with a plan.  I believe Mike and I are going to start something pretty stinkin strict very soon. Not excited at all but feeling ready to make the commitment.  It's a health thing for us not a "get skinny" thing. I'd be lying if I said that wouldn't be an awesome bonus! Like really awesome. We had the great privilege of taking some visiting Pastors (Pasors IV and Bene from Epic Church) to the airport and they highly recommended this diet to us.  I am getting out and walking as often as I can. It definitely is a mood lifter for me! Gets my blood flowing and love the fresh air!

Overall I feel like we are all doing pretty good.  We just keep it "light" especially with Luke.  This week one day we were on our way to school when I realized he didn't have a jacket or anything on! He definitely needed one on! So we laughed and I kept saying you look like you don't have a mother! He giggled :)  When he got out of the car I said have a good day you little boy who doesn't have a mom, I said just tell them your mom is on chemo and is missing some of her brain. We just have as much fun with is as we can! I really do believe that he is doing so good!
