Hello everyone,
I know it's been a while, and since people keep asking for a health update, I thought I'd give you a little one. I started the chemo drug Doxil on Sep. 24th and have had two rounds. It is every three weeks, so the second round was on this past Thursday. So far, so good. I haven't had any real side effects so far, except being a little tired. I'm sure they're yet to come, but so far, I'm just enjoying that. My hair hasn't even begun to fall out, which I was sure would have happened by now. I know it will happen, but it's just a matter of when. I feel good, except for the athsma attack I had on Monday night, which quickly turned into some kind of infection. I started antibiotics right away, so I'm hoping for a quick recovery on that. Speaking of recovery, my voice has begun to come back! I can actually sing a little. I don't have much power yet, but we'll see what happens in the coming days as I get better from this infection. Thanks again for all your thoughts & prayers--they really help!
