Christina is doing well after her 2nd round of the A-C chemotherapy! Two more rounds until the finish line. Chemo finish line, that is. After that, surgery and recovery. We are probably looking at a September date for her surgery. We will have a better idea of how effective the chemo has been after she gets another MRI following her last session. She is kicking cancer's ass. If this were a boxing match, cancer's manager would have thrown in the towel already. MMA fight? Breast cancer is in an arm bar and tapping out..
She is still running a few times a week and the side effects aren't too bad. She is weaker and the Neulasta drug that they inject the day after chemo to build up healthy cells causes soreness and body aches. I guess I had some sympathy pains the other day. Everything hurt and it wasn't from exercising too much, believe me.
We had a fun but restful weekend. Sundays used to be a mixed bag. She was working in a position that didn't suit her well and I was growing ever more frustrated in my job. Around 1 pm, we would both start to realize that we had to go to work the next day and that the weekend was over. Things have changed! We had a nice lunch with her parents yesterday and did a little clothes shopping for Italy. We watched one of our favorite movies of all time "Moonstruck" and chilled with the mutts. And of course, pizza was on the menu. You cannot go wrong with a slice or ten if you ask me!
I want to take her out to celebrate the completion of chemotherapy in mid August. She deserves to be celebrated. She has been so strong and courageous throughout this mess. I know she has been an inspiration to me and many others. You cannot help but feel better when you see how she has handled the situation. The first part of the journey is coming to an end soon. That is a really good thing:) Remember that you are blessed and that you are special...
