2.7.23
Today was dose five. Next week I’ll be half way through this regimen. How crazy is that!?! I had a follow up with my oncologist today and he asked if I had any tingling or numbness in my fingers or toes… I said no. And I don’t think I do. Haha. But if I sit there and think about it, then I think I may feel something? I don’t know. It’s so weird. I don’t know if it’s just a mind thing? Or if it’s the beginning of something more… On a daily basis I don’t notice anything. Other than maybe my fingers are more sensitive to cold/hot. I’m going to try to pay more attention this week to see if I notice it more.
I have noticed a few more little things… Like I get more tired at like days three & four nothing major. I’m just ready for bed by 8pm. I tend to get cold through out the day. It’s not all the time it just happens randomly… Or maybe it’s when I’m more tired? And then I end up getting hot in the middle of the night. Haha! I guess my body can’t make up what it wants to do. As far as the side effects go though- I can’t complain. The fatigue isn’t terrible. I’m not throwing up (yet). I’ve noticed a little change in my digestive system, nothing major. And as far as I can tell my fingers and toes are holding their own. Like I said, I can’t complain!! 🙂 I had this verse shared with me today. 🤍
I will be the same until your old age, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will bear and save you.
Isaiah 46:4
Dad and Mom were able to come up and go with me to this appointment. That was fun. Today we were done around 12:30, so on the way home we grabbed a bite to eat. If you are local and want to tag along to see what it’s all about you sure can just let me know!! (If you aren’t local and want to come you totally can too! 🤣) And just for the record grabbing lunch isn’t a requirement! 🤣🤪🙂
Thanks for the update Cassie, it sounds like you’re doing very well under the circumstances. So glad to hear that there’s no neuropathy yet, praise the Lord! It looks like you had a good visit from your parents. So the Cancer Center is on “Craig Road”?!
Great pictures, as always. I really like one with Emersyn and the icicle and got a big kick out of the shots of Colton crashed at the table, how precious! I’m thinking there’s another story related to the “owie” on his lip. It looks like Tucker is pushing his luck, but he is SO CUTE. What beautiful flowers from your sisters! As always, much love and prayers.
Thank you Kim! I need to be better at doing my physical therapy stuff! But I’m so glad things seem to be going well and as of now the neuropathy is holding off!
His owie is from not watching where he was going… He was getting away from Tucker and ran into the shelf…
So so glad you are getting along ok with all that you are enduring. You make it so understandable to others. I enjoy the updates, and of course the pics! We don’t have any snow down here at the moment, Lyle says its a good place for it! Got to see your parents last weekend and they were looking forward to coming up to see you. Oh Tucker…. oh the memories to share by all. You are so blessed with your family support.
Continue prayers girl!
Julie 🙂
Thank you Julie!
I’m ready for the snow to be gone! Is he sure he doesn’t want a little.. I don’t mind sharing!
I had a good time with mom and dad! It was fun to show them what a chemo day looks like. I’m just thankful mine are only 3-3.5hrs long!
Tucker’s a little stinker sometimes but he’s a keeper! Gives us a good laugh when he knows he shouldn’t have something and takes off hiding. Just like a kid!
Thanks for sharing Cassie. I’m so glad things are going well. We all begin to anticipate the end of the treatments for you. “Clap you hands all you people. Shout unto God with a voice of praise.” From somewhere in the psalms.
God bless you,
Josie
Yes! ❤️ I’m looking forward to having this hurdle behind me!!
