Chemo #4

 I finally got to have my 4th chemo last week. It was postponed by the snowacalpsye & a water main breaking in the Hospital. I was really ready for it to be on Monday but waiting until Wednesday was ok I guess. Just makes the recovery time a little longer than expected. I just get myself ready to go mentally & it stinks when things don't go your way! Ha but I think I am learning that throughout this whole process!!!! It's just another day:)
 They were able to only stick me twice this appointment. Once for blood work & once to get the chemo started. Whoo Hoo! That is always exciting for me. It was another long day. We got there at 10am & didn't leave until 6:15pm. Needless to say I was wiped out as usual afterwards. But that is nothing new. Each & every chemo effects me the same way day of. Today I am starting to feel a bit more like myself. But still not wanting much to eat or drink. But also trying to stay on top of that so I don't come down with anything.
 I did find out that I will be having my 3rd PET Scan on January 23rd getting results back on January 27th (chemo #5 & my birthday). What a way to spend my 35 birthday in the Oncology unit having chemo. That is just another day in the Life of the Rosbottoms for you!
 My PET Scan will be at 9:20am. I have to drink this terrible white solo plastic cup full of liquid & then rest in a quiet dark room for at least 30 minutes to let the fluid pass through to light up any cancer cells I might have. Then we are finished & wait for the results. Which I of course will be nerve wracking but I will be feeling good so that is all I can ask for!
 I also met with my plastic surgeon this week & he said that my breast wounds are healing as he expected. I may still have to get a skin craft at a later date but as of now things look good. I was happy to hear that. I am still seeing wound care for them just to be on the safe side no more infections or unnecessary surgeries for me please!
Much Love,
Megan
