What a wonderful week

I can definitely say that my “free week” (no chemo) was definitely well spent! I got to see my best friend Joe over the weekend and it is pretty much impossible not to have good time with him. :) I visited with family and had lunches/dinners everyday with some of my favies. I have such great people in my life.

As far as my health goes, everything is going very smoothly. I don’t feel sick at all really and I still got a head of hair. So no complaining here.

I have my 4th treatment on Monday, not too worried. Anticipating the stomach aches, but the anti-nausea medicine pretty much gets rid of it. Going to try to just go in, go out. The chemo is going fairly quickly. Weird to think that I am already almost half way done. Time really does fly by.
The doctor said I can start up running again, which I am stoked about. I am so ready to get back into shape again. So I am definitely going to take the time I have to get that going. I have been thinking of things to do with the months I have ahead since I am not in school and I cannot work. It is so rare now to find this amount of free time, so I definitely want to take advantage of this opportunity.

If I feel good enough I really want to start walking/running next week. I can’t wait!

I am feeling so good and ready for the 4th treatment. The secret? I truly stay positive and surround myself with the most caring and amazing people. People who make me smile and laugh so hard that it makes me forget that I am even sick. People who I love so very much.
What can I say? I’m a very lucky girl.

Always, Amber :)
