Dropping in to say hello!

Dropping in to say hello!

Good morning! Just thought I would drop in and say hello with an update 🙂

So I have to say I’ve been doing pretty good! I had a treatment last week and as a precaution they brought me back 2 days later for fluids and some other meds to help me bounce back. I didn’t experience the extreme nausea like last time thank goodness but I was still pretty drained mentally and physically. There was one thing different in my chemo regimen this time so not sure that was to thank or the extra fluid appt?? When I met with the genetics team they had to take me off one of the drugs due to side effects for at least 28 days so I can get my 2nd liver biopsy on the 20th. That drug in particular was the one I had the reaction to (Avastin). We were concerned about the effects of omitting one of the drugs but I’m still getting the other chemo drugs and this biopsy is important..So I wont have that drug in-particular until my treatment post biopsy. I will say one of the drugs they gave me on fluid day is making me have trouble sleeping at night?? I went from taking barely Tylenol to all of this, my body isn’t knowing what to think!!??
After treatment there is a day where I think “okay today I feel like myself”…Today I woke up feeling that way! This journey so far has been a HUGE learning experience in more ways then you think… From the outside I look like I always do…. I think when people see me they are a little surprised lol Its just weird, I was FINE and then this happened… This weekend I found my self struggling a little…wanting my old life back, hating the limitations I now have, wishing I could take this stress and heartache from my family and friends…I took a drive alone, cried and got back to it!! I was reminded how thankful I am that its happening to me cause I can handle it!! I felt Gods presence on that drive and put things back into perspective… I needed a little reboot which I think is probably normal I guess?? I still don’t know what I’m doing?? lol

Alright enough of that!!! To put all that jabbering all together I’m doing as well as can be expected!! I’m smiling, thankful and faithful! As I always say, I am blown away from all the support!! Each and every one of you are so special to me!! Thanks for caring for me and my family!!

One more thing!! I will be at the event at the salon on Saturday, if your in town please stop by I would love to see you and say hello!!

Always LOVE XOXOXO

Jessica
