Just a little update. I did have my labs checked this week. My blood counts all look good right now. The counts might fall in the next few days, but hooray for now! I have not yet figured out the pattern of this drug. My liver enzymes are elevated, but not as high as last time. I will have my labs checked again next Thursday. If my levels still look decent then my next chemo treatment will be Tuesday the 27th. My second to last treatment!! Woohoo!! I feel pretty good today, just way wiped out. I think I am now over the "my bones are breaking from the inside" feeling! I am still experiencing the burning and tingling feet, especially at night. The foot issue, along with the extreme hot flashes are not particularly conducive to sleep! Once again poor Tyler is the one to suffer- he has had to deal with all kinds of adventures! I am hoping to work a little toward the end of next week. I can hardly believe that we are in the last few weeks of school!! It seems crazy! I have been loving the warm weather and have enjoyed going for walks everyday! I keep thinking that it will take me FOREVER to get my full strength back, but maybe my measly daily walks will help speed the process along a little! Eli (my fitness fanatic) is super excited to "train" me when my treatment is finished. He is going to run a 5k at the end of the month with uncle Trevor's relay for life team (DL Evans Bank) and can hardly wait. The apple really DID fall far from the tree with that boy and his penchant for exercise :). We are all feeling very optimistic and thrilled that the chemo is winding down. I am so looking forward to being able to spend much of the summer enjoying my kiddos and being out of seclusion!! We remain so thankful for the love and support we have been shown. Love to all!! ~ Melissa
