I have a week to go before I start Taxol. I am feeling pretty good. I leave for Calistoga in an hour for an overnight with my mom and I'm looking forward to some time away from the kids to just take care of myself. Massages, a nice dinner and some good old relaxation.
Halloween was a great time for all of us. Talia's friend came over to trick or treat with us and Minna really got into the whole scene. She figured out that all she had to do was walk up to people's houses and say "ditt or deat" and they would give her little packages and she would say "dank you" and walk away. She was so into it! The girls got a ton of loot. I was glad my last round of AC was far enough behind me that I felt well enough to get out and walk the neighborhood with them and really enjoy the festivities.
I continue to swim and it's been great. My stamina has improved so much - today I got up to almost 3/4 of a mile and then I got a terrible foot cramp and had to stop. But I'm thrilled with my progress.
Tomorrow my sister and nephew arrive for a visit and we are excited to spend time with them. Talia is SOOOOO excited to see Ethan. We are having a sleepover all together on Friday night which will be a lot of fun.
I am hoping the next week allows me to enjoy the end of the break before I start my next cycle of chemo. I know I will feel a huge sense of relief when I see how bad it makes me feel....

Sounds like you're in a good place right now. Enjoy your time before more chemo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the package for Mollie- can tell you're the mother of little girls. The paper dolls got Mollie so fired up!
have fun on your WELL-deserved spa retreat. i often see minna in the mornings at hopkins park, she is adorable.
ReplyDeleteLoved you in that wig in Calistoga. The 24 hours were healing in so many ways. Great to have Alison and Ethan here. Quite a family filled few days. My idea of heaven. Hope Taxol is not too taxing. Love, Mom
