The good, the bad and the ugly

The good is that spring is almost here. My tulips are starting to pop out of the ground. I have a spring in my step and Jessica has her bike out.

The bad is that my neck is in a lot of pain. I started physio this morning. He says "no neck collar". This makes the muscles weaker. I had acupuncture, heat and some muscle stimulation. Many many exercises to do many many times a day. I have to say that this afternoon it is feeling better already. But I have put my gym membership on hold for a while. If I can't be doing weights I may as well walk outside with the dog rather than walk inside on the treadmill.

The ugly part is that I start chemo again tomorrow. I have a new spot on my liver which is 2.2 cm x 1.8 cm. Back on Navelbine. Same as before - 3 weeks on and 1 week off. After 2 complete cycles (7 weeks) they will do another CAT scan. I will continue with Herceptin as well. My veins are getting hard in my right arm from so many needle pokes - the nurse says they are like rope. I need to have a blood draw before each chemo. Could be a challenge in the near future.

Well that's all I know for now.

Enjoy your day.
