Two Down

Two chemos down, not too sure how many to go this time.  I think it will depend on how I do.  These two drugs are less aggressive than the several I received on the last round.  So far I am doing much better on these than I did on the others.  I hope they will still do their job!  Nausea is really at a minimum and fatigue is there but doable.  I am more alert this time since we have the anti nausea meds worked out from before.  I am not as paranoid about germs but still trying to be careful.  My neuropathy has heightened.  I am praying that it will not increase more.  I am feeling much more alive than on the previous round.  I still have hair but it could begin to come out in clumps by next week.  Given the sad and untimely death of Alan Rickman to pancreatic cancer this past week,  I spent the unsleepable wee hours of the morning reading comments on one of the Facebook posts about him.  Comments were mostly about lost loved ones from the disease.  Many indicated a very quick passing from it and yet there were a few hopeful survivor stories.  I am very grateful to have survived this far and have much hope for a longer life.  Mortality is worth fighting for!
