This past week, I slept a lot since I was taking so much Benadryl. Usually, this would have been the week that my appetite would have struggled. This did NOT happen because of all the roids. These are the steroids that make you eat like you are getting ready for hibernation, not the kind that make you bulk up with muscles. I am not allowed to lift any weights yet since I am at a higher risk for a herniation since I have now had 2 major abdominal surgeries in 2 years. We are walking more, it helps circulate the chemo to my whole body. In 2 sessions, we walked for 50 minutes and for 1.72 miles today! Even though we are doing this, I gained a whopping 5.5 pounds in just a week. My poor husband, the roids have made my fuse very short and he has been very patient with me the whole time.
We were able to celebrate our 3rd year anniversary at our home. We still look back and love looking at our pictures from our years in this house. Our lives have drastically changed and I love seeing it captured in a photo.
A big shout out to the Major League Baseball Playoffs with the Giants! One of the reporters was wearing a Bow Tie for a Cause and it was for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. We were blown away to see this, especially in the month of October when it is breast cancer awareness month. Since some of you may not know our tie to the SF Giants. Wil's great uncle, Roger Craig, was the manager for them when he was a kid. So GO GIANTS!
We didn't get to see the oncologist today, but will talk with her next week about chemo plans moving forward. Chemo went well today, no issues at all with the Taxol! (Carbo was the once that was the issue last week)
You're looking good! Glad you're doing better this week....praying for you all the time!
