2nd round of chemo down!

I had my 2nd round of chemo yesterday morning. Everything went as planned. They started by taking my blood work to verify all looked good with my white blood counts. They were a little elevated since I had already started my chemo meds, but it was nothing out of the ordinary so we were good to go. By 12:30 ish I was done with all of my IV drips and sent on my way home. I spent the afternoon resting, working, doing odds and ends at home. Today, I went in for my follow up Neulasta shot and ran a few errands with my Mom. We even stopped to get some frozen yogurt today with the kids! YUM! :) I'm a little tired, so plan to rest up later.

I got a call from the hospital telling me how to prep for my PET/CT scan in the morning. Low carb dinner, no food or drink after midnight, and no strenuous exercise between now and then. I think I can handle the last one especially! :) Soon, one more test will be checked off!

I had a great weekend of celebrating. My (second) cousin's wedding was beautiful and it was sooo nice to visit with some family we haven't seen in a while. We also got to take some gorgeous flower arrangements home that my cousin did. My house is full of beautiful roses and star gazer lillies! I was so glad to get to feel good and enjoy a nice family time!

I have gotten lots of cards and emails from several of you...thanks so much! Thank you also to those of you that have received Courtney's letter/post on facebook and answered the call to donate to our Race for the Cure team. We appreciate every one of you and having your support for that amazing cause is wonderful! Go Team Michelle! :)
