Let me start by saying Happy Flag Day and Happy Birthday Grandma Jackie!
Not a whole lot new to report. The family went camping in the Santa Cruz area again the weekend before last. Rileigh had a beach soccer tournament, that's right, beach soccer. Quite an amazing thing to watch. Adam, sorry I didn't get in touch with you, I was not feeling well and therefore didn't feel much like socializing. Post chemo days have proven to be quite the challenge with the overall joint and muscle aches. I think I felt better in the transition weeks before my next round of chemo. I continue to force myself to walk, despite some days it being very painful. I had hoped to be getting into more of a routine of exercising by now, but just feel moving is too painful. I have made it to the pool a couple of times to do some laps which feel alright.
I am now also getting my eyelashes and eyebrows back. They were the last to go and the first to come back. The hair on my head is also coming in but just seems like a light fuzz right now. It all looks as if my hair will be much darker than before (which I'm a bit disappointed about).
As far as appointments go: I continue to see MerriAnn, Sandy (neuro-reflex therapy for the neuropathy) and Dr. Shen for acupuncture, all on a weekly basis. I am scheduled to have my intraperitoneal port removed on June 27th. Dr Chen (my surgeon from the "big" surgery) will be doing the surgery.
I hope to get a couple of more pictures on here too. I've got a lot of feedback from those of you who don't see me due to living far away that you like the pictures a lot.
Sorry, not a whole lot more to report. I could ramble on, but it would probably not do any of us any good because it would be more of the negative stuff about how much pain I'm in. And none of us really need to dwell on that, right?
Take care, thanks for all your support, and hope to have better news next time or at least a better attitude!
Denise
