I love the holiday season and all of the festive atmosphere, the twinkling lights, the songs, decorating, and most importantly cherishing time spent with family and friends…

Another long one today, although we did manage to skip the whole allergic reaction thing. That is a huge positive.

That’s right, it’s Chemo Eve. Somehow, I will NOT be breaking out the champagne for this one.

Chemo Cycle 1, Day 3 – Hydration

My Status: Tired
Mood: Meh
I’m just going to jump in and say, I didn’t sleep well last night. Not because of any other unpleasant side effects (because I really haven’t had many), but I just couldn’t sleep. So I was tired today. I am STILL tired, and yet, not sure I will be able to sleep tonight.
