half way there!

Devon sent me the following to share with you on her blog to celebrate her being half way done her treatments:

I went down this past week for my 15 day blood work and half way point CT scan. I hope to get the results at my next appointment with Dr Connors on September 22. I will be doing round #4 on the 23rd & 24th if my blood work is good.

I am at the half way point of my treatment! I am hoping that I continue to feel as good as I do. I have a few side effects that are bothering me, but nothing compared to what I faced in July after my reactions. The one side effect that is really bothering me is my heart burn/acid reflux. My throat is really hurting me, which I assume is from the reaction as I burnt from the inside out and my throat was very sore in July. I wonder if it’s actually the cancer shrinking. That is what could be bothering me, as it’s my glands that are sore. I went to the doctor in town and was told it looks clear and isn’t strep throat, so maybe the CT results will show more. I might have to see an ENT about it if it persists.

I did the Terry Fox Run with my sister Erin this week. It was a last minute decision and I am glad I attended. It was great to get outside and enjoy the sun. We walked the short course of 4.3km. I was a little out of breathe on some of the hills, but felt awesome at the end.

Thank you to everyone for your words of support, MealTrain and visits. It so amazing having you all in my life.

Cheers from Whistler!
