Chemo #1 - Round 4
Wow time goes by fast. And here we are again counting the chemo's. This will be the fourth round of chemo that I have had. It went OK yesterday. About 3 hours from start to finish. Boy am I glad that I have this port. I may not get it taken out. They put me in a bed yesterday instead of a chair. That is always nice. I had a little nap which seems to make the time go by faster. By now I think I have ownership in the hospital parking lot. I should have my own space.
I feel a bit strange about writing about chemo yet one more time. I can't imagine that you guys want to hear these details AGAIN. Most of you could probably give me my chemo by now. I will have to send out mini medical degreees to you all when this is complete. Anyway, I would like to know if you readers really want to read about this topic anymore.
I go see the plastic surgeon tomorrow. I hope this little set back won't interfere with my reconstruction. I REALLY want to get that done. I'll let you know what he says.
Also my oncologist has taken me off Aromasin. This is the drug that I had my oopheractomy to take. He figures with the reoccurances that I have had that it isn't working. Too bad I can't have my ovaries back.
Anyway off to my HAIR APPOINTMENT. I don't know why I am so excited as I only have about an inch of hair. But maybe a little highlighting will give it a bit of punch - right now it kind of looks like a helmet.
Gotta run.
Happy spring to everyone.
Love Carolin

Carolin -- Of COURSE we still want to hear about how you are doing, including details. I don't know if you ever set up a "counter" to see how many hits you get on your blog, but I bet you would be surprised at how often a great number of people are trying to check in on your without bothering you. I'm very glad you fill us in on details and so on. I think it is great. If nothing else, you are providing us with knowledge that may prove useful to one of us or someone we know in the future.
Bottom line? Carolin, so many people care about you but don't want to constantly be calling and bothering you. Please continue to keep us in the loop. You really are an inspiration to so many.
Take care, we're thinking of you.

Yes, we so want to hear how you are doing and what you are facing - I can't imagine the mountains you have already climbed. Please be assured you are in my prayers every night and every morning. Perhaps we can go for coffee, tea, whatever your choice is next time. I really enjoyed our visit.
Love & prayers, Jan WE2EBC

Carolin,
I really NEED you to keep me informed, please don't stop. I am so sorry that the ride on the roller coaster just went in the down direction but you know what happens next...yep, up! To me the important news is that you have a spring in your step and are enjoying the season. There will be another big infusion of energy coming your way as your friends respond to your news so..hang on!

Hey Carolin,
I second and third and fourth all the comments. We check your blog because we care and remain inspired by your strength and determination to take whatever is thrown your way! As for your hair appointment...do something fun with it, but it most certainly does not look like a helmet and I think it looks funky and chic and suits you very well!!
Talk to you soon!
Love Michele

Of course we don't want to hear about this any more - but only because we don't want you going through this any more! But as long as you continue to be on the journey we are honored to have you keep us informed (it helps our prayers be more specific to Heavenly Father!)You are such a lovely person that I guess the hospital staff just didn't want to quit seeing you.
Remember I'm right across the street and would be more than willing to take you for some of your treatments (only this time don't walk so fast down the hallway 'cause I got too winded trying to keep up with you last time we went to the hospital!!!!)
Lots of hugs,
Cheryl
