Let's just blame the summer on the fact that I haven't updated the blog in almost two months.
Can it really be August already?!
This summer Lana has been getting a reduced dose of chemo every week, with a week off every three weeks. Did that make sense?
So she goes every Tuesday and after three in a row, she gets a week off. She's not exactly sure how many rounds of this she will have to do before the radiation starts. The doctor will decide after the next three rounds.
She feels pretty good except for a few rough days after the chemo. Some of the common side-effects she has felt are dizziness, tiredness, nausea and lack of/change in appetite. And a little brain fogginess. Or was that happening before the cancer? Just kidding, mom! ;)
You would hardly know it since she gets up and gets ready and looks cute everyday!!
She can't wait for this part to end. It will be a happy day when chemo is over.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your prayers and support!! Our whole family feels it and appreciates it. We knew our mom had a lot of friends but holy cow. Cards, texts, meals, phone calls, messages, visitors. It's been amazing!
