Round 4 begins

I just got home from the hospital after 6 hours in the "Chemo Suites".  The injections went well with no complications. They are still concerned about my platelet count but we pressed on.  The RN, Jess, was fantastic.  She had a great sense of humor and was on top of everything I needed.  Once again Vic, Lori and I were laughing and joking around.  Jess said she wished she could stay in the room all day.  I think the nurses in the oncology wing don't get a lot of opportunity to laugh with patients.  God bless them all!
 I feel a little more beat up with each treatment so I have to stay ahead of any side effects.  Fatigue, nausea and pain are only a nap or a pill away from relief.  I'm going to take a nap now because I'm a little more tired than usual. Keep praying and thinking good thoughts.....It's working!!!!!

PS- Say a prayer for Sammy's teammate, Jordan.  He is having surgery on his knee today and he has a lot more basketball to play in the future.

  1. So glad round 4 started off well :) it's ironic that even though you are the patient that you are the person bringing joy to the oncology unit and asking for prayers for others as well...just a testament to how amazing you are! Keep up the healing you're doing great!!!
