I don't know if it was the excitement over the SF Giants going to the playoffs or if this new chemo is that different, but yesterday was a great day! I'm hoping it was the new chemo and that it's going to be much easier than the Avastin has been for me in the past. Although (so far) the side effects have been easier on me, the pain still remains :( I don't know which is better, having to pop pain pills throughout the day and living in a weird fog or dealing with the long list of side effects that comes along with the chemo (like the nausea, vomiting, lethargy, neuropathy, etc.). Well, either way, at least I'm still here and ready to handle whatever life throws at me, no problem.
I imagine that if the side effects ease up and my recovery time is less, perhaps I can work more often and feel almost "normal" again. Wow, that would be awesome. Can you imagine? Actually working an 8 hour shift would be quite a long day, but maybe I can handle that in the near future :) I know, it sounds so weird for me to get excited over that considering John (and a lot of people out there) work 10-12 hours a day on a regular basis. Well, those days are definitely over for me right now. But, we'll try and start with 8.
And finally, we're so stinkin' proud of our San Francisco Giants, it's been crazy around here!! John and I want to believe that his (very loyal fan of a mother) had something to do with their win last night. I can see Pauline as an angel in the outfield helping her team out a little bit. Go Giants!!
Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie

I love you!!!! I am sorry that I have not commented recently. I hope so much for you to be comfortable. Chemo is chemo, so there will always be some side effects. You are able to handle anything that it throws your way. Getting you "work life" back to something similar would be great for your mindset. I hope it all works out! Love you!!!
