Tenth Round & Journeying On

Tomorrow will be my tenth round with Herceptin and Zometa plus several weeks with Tamoxifen. Wow, how time flies. These three weeks roll around so fast. That's okay though, because with God, your prayers along with these treatments...good things are happening.

I kind of look forward to my appointment days. I usually get a really good nap in on the way, because you all know me, with a zillion and one things on my plate, I rarely get in a nap. So when the opportunity is there, I take it. I'm learning to get more rest though. I've been doing a lot of reading and rest seems to be a big part of healing. So If you call me in the middle of the day and I don't answer right away, leave me a message, because I'm sleeping. The other day I actually turned off my phone and took a nap. It took a lot for me to actually do that and be okay with it, but it really felt good.

Oh, and Lets not forget the ride home and the stop offs to Whole Foods for my organic fix. That's a fun an exciting adventure in itself. My friend Karen, who is also dealing with BC mentioned the other day on her blog how that when you're in Whole Foods how it makes you feel healthier. I couldn't agree with her more. You do feel healthier because you're in this organic and all natural atmosphere from food on down to the people. I've even had a couple of prayer sessions while in there too. And I love to go there and get the teriyaki sweet potatoes...they are so good.

I'm sleepy right now and I think I'm going to go nap before the kids get in. Oh wait, I need to cook dinner first.
Keep on praying and again...thanks to my family and friends for your support and being there for me and my family. I am so blessed to have you!
