Give it to me, 2 times.

Got sesh numero dos underway today. Still feeling a-ok at this second, but remember it set on around 10pm tonight last treatment. After asking around, seems that the side effects (i.e. nausea) typically wear off like they did last week, so that I can expect to feel good on off weeks (SNOWBOARDING!!). Apparently you bounce back slower and slower, but last week i was rocking by about 2 days after they unplugged me.

Gotta say, the week off is really the ticket. Seemed like so long since I was in there, and it gives you time to get your head wrapped around going back in there to feel crappy again. At the end of last treatment I was wondering how the hell I'd make it thru 6 months of this bullshit (feeling pretty discouraged), but after a week recharging, and having a reg life schedule and engery, I know I can handle this again. It ain't gonna be fun, but I can totally do this. I'm actually in some ways into it- need these drugs to kill those cancer cells (pictured), even if it's killing some good 'uns while it's all up in there.

Mere and I got to meet a woman there today, too, who was on her last treament of the FOLFOX. She, too, had the same cancer (and surgeon), and was finishing her 6 months today. She was really encouraging and made us feel like we can bust thru this....made it feel like it goes by quicker than you'd think. The only bad we took away from our meeting with her was her hair was really thinned out. Like a newborns hair, kinda, where you can see the scalp thru the hair. Anyway, mine seems to not have fallen out much, if any, so far, and we're crossing our fingers it hangs around. If not, I've got clippers in the b'room just begging to be busted out.

BZZZZZZZZZZ.
