Crawling out of my cave to tell you that as of last week, I’m halfway done with chemo!
Overall, I’m tolerating it pretty well. Even though I’m perpetually tired and have little stamina, the hardest parts for me have been withdrawing from the steroids (for any allergic reactions) and recovering from the injections (that boost my blood cell count). Thankfully, I still have a lot of hair left though because the cold capping is also excruciating...albeit, still worth it for now as you can see.
I don't think it’s really sunk in that I have cancer and it feels impossible to articulate all that I’m going through right now. But I’m learning to ask for (and actually receive) help and I’m deeply grateful for all the ways you continue to help support us so I can focus on my health.
While I’m still having a hard time keeping up with all my messages, I really appreciate all of your encouragement so please keep them coming.
Love,
Linz
