I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I really feel great! I have lots of energy and some of my persistent pains seem to be decreasing. The past three days I've been going into the office and putting in full day's work. This represents my longest and most consistent work streak since I was diagnosed!
I seem to be tolerating Yondelis well. Yes, it took a little while to recover and during the recovery I remember feeling fatigue like I hadn't experienced before with the last chemotherapy regime; however, once the recovery period was over, it was gone!!! Mental clarity, energy, alterness, I almost feel normal :)
I'm also starting to grow my hair back! You can start to see the hair folicles on my head, my face is growing peach fuzz and tiny eyelashes are sprouting up. I feel like I'm watching a garden grow, though I must admit I've never had luck with plants.
This weekend is Benson's 1st Birthday and he's always wanted to go to The Black Dog on Martha's Vineyard. So we promised him we'd take him. It's supposed to be a beautiful weekend so I'll be taking lots of pictures!
Now I understand why you've been too busy to call your sister back! Had a wonderful time with you in Boston and can't wait to see you again. Love you Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia Pet!
