The waiting game

Just checking in.  Well so far feeling not too badly after my treatment on Tuesday.  Rinsing my mouth with the 'magic mouthwash' to avoid any infection - took the last of the steroids today, so once they wear off that is when the other stuff usually kicks in - so we will see what the weekend brings.  Hoping it wont be so bad this time.  And every day that passes is one day closer to this being over.  I am confused with the days - thought it was Wednesday today - so once I discovered it was Thursday - it pleased me to think I am one day ahead of where I thought I was!!  

Caught up on laundry today and made a pea and ham soup - so a little productive, but I am bored.  I should have been out and about today enjoying the beautiful weather, but decided not to get dressed today - just one of those days.

I hate this waiting game - I have put the surgery behind me - almost over the chemo - and then the radiation treatment kicks in - 6 weeks, 5 days a week.  That is going to be a bit of a challenge for me going to the hospital every day - but I am hoping it won't be too uncomfortable and that I can get some strength back.

I have developed lymphedema in my left arm and hand - some days it is better than others, but most definately the swelling is there - I hate it.  I will have to get my rings re-sized (or perhaps a new one!!! lol)

Cancer vixen checking out for today.
