Unexpected Infusion

I am getting to this post a little late because things happened fairly quickly and I have been on the tired side of late — kind of like the kitten passed out in the picture. After my latest cold, which took a few weeks to get rid of, I went back on my chemo treatment and when I went to … Read More

Searching for the Rainbow

Yesterday I had my three month check up with the oncologist. I don’t mind admitting that the past three months have been difficult ones for me as I do NOT wait well.

Cycle 3, Day 3 – Hydration

My Status: Rested
Mood: Good
This will be a short post. Things went well today. I managed to have my first ever hydration day of less than 4 hours. YAY!!!
