It's 12:19 and I'm all hooked up to my chemo. The port needle went in on the first try and I'm thankful for that.
They took an older woman out of the chemo treatment center, right past me and I had to choke back some tears. Shortly afterwards I was called in to have my port done where I promptly burst into tears. The nurse was very kind, asked what was wrong and reminded me she was on her way to get help.
    The Dr. visit went well. My platelet count is UP to 200!!! HOORAY!!! I am NOT anemic and my white blood cells look great!!! I gained about 10 pounds and I told him I was HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. He said yep....that's chemo. So while I am irritated with that, I know I've not been "bad" it's just that the meds make me crave stuff...primarily salt. I eat popecorn, put loads of green olives in my salad, had potato chips last night (which I ever eat), etc. and I know THAT isn't helpful!! Oh well, have to have a treat sometimes!!!
    My CA-125 test was 17.4, down from last time...EXCELLLET!! I am, however, very tired today. Mom and my friend went back to the House of Care where they will have lunch and then bring me mine. I am thankful for both of them, truly. However, I am also thankful for some quiet, a litte respite for me!

Love to all,

Michelle
