Chemo #3 is on for tomorrow

Blood work was good today, so chemo is on for 10:30 tomorrow morning. I'm kind of down about it, but then at least I'll be halfway done after this one.

Had a busy weekend with company in from Kenora, and Carter in a track meet. The Manitoba Marathon was yesterday morning, almost 14,000 particpants. We were at the start line (bright and early), Carter was running the Super Run (2.6 miles instead of 26.2). I really hope to be running the half marathon again next year. I miss running...

  1. I'm sorry you're feeling down...but I completely understand...the road ahead seems so long at this point. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow...and after tomorrow's treatment you will be on the 'home stretch'. You know they say marathons have two 'halves' - the first 20 miles and the last six! Try to think of the treatment course this way...by tomorrow you will have completed the first 20!!

    Love and Hugs!!

  2. It's kindda normal to feel down Beth. Always persuade yourself that you want to get over and done with the chemo thingy... Good news that your blood is okay...

    Half way through means you are half way winning the battle... you go girl!

  3. Yes it's perfectly normal to feel down before chemo ... I know I get worked up each time.

    Just know you that much closer to being done ... finished ... complete.

    All the best tomorrow ...

  4. If we were closer we could be in the same room. I do mine tomorrow too. And I don't want to go either. Glad your bloodwork is good. Blessings to you tomorrow.

  5. I know how you feel about running. Its like a knife in your heart. The Race for Life was this weekend for me and I should have been doing it but next year I will.

    As for being down about chemo... well, I get like that too and its understandable. I am like a bear with a sore head then once its over I am back to me again. I dont like being like that but heck, we are putting our bodies through alot!
