Yesterday I went for round 3. We arrived just after 9:00 and were the last people out of there at 4:45. (They close at 4:00.) I wasn't able to convince my doctor to eliminate or pause the chemo drug that is causing me some problems, but she did agree to reduce the dose a little. Here's hoping that that will do the trick. I also got some extra fluids following my treatment, and I think I'll ask for that every time. I didn't have any nausea this time. However, "the misery" set in before we even left the office. "The misery" is what I call the feeling of deep heaviness that I feel after treatment. I can't really come up with a better way to describe it because it's unlike anything that I've ever felt before. It's kind of like walking through deep water. The only thing that you can really do is fall into bed, so that's what I did. I slept well and today mostly just felt tired, so I slept some more. Some digestive issues, but manageable.

The girls are at the grandparents' for a few days, for which I'm so grateful. Being able to sleep whenever I need to is so helpful. I miss them, but I know they're enjoying their time with the grandparents. I don't know what we'd do without our parents here to help us. Please keep them in your prayers. They love having the girls, but it does take some extra energy!

While I have many moments of anxiety, I also have many moments of peace. In those moments, I know that God is answering your prayers. There's no other explanation because my natural self would just be a ball of worries all the time. So thank you.

Hoping for a very uneventful week of rest and recovery. And then some good weeks!
