Momma sent me this, love it.

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile but here it is!

Hey everyone! It's been awhile since I've updated but time sure if flying by! I've had my 5th, 6th, and just yesterday, my 7th chemo! I'M MORE THAN HALF WAY DONE! I'm so excited! I've been feeling pretty good, just the usual tiredness and loss of appetite after the first few days. I met this woman at the Gathering Place (a place cancer patients and their families can go for yoga, reiki, massages, or just to hang out!) and she told me that lemon drops help for nausea. I bought a bag and it really does help. I'm mostly nauseous when I'm actually getting chemo, I think it's just me not wanting to be there lol. I can't complain though, it could be way worse! My hair is weirdly growing but thinning at the same time. I've had my days where I'm really missing my hair! I look at other girls with such nice, long hair and I do get jealous but...I keep telling myself it'll grow back. I think I'm going to start taking biotin (if the doc approves) to help with growth and my nails...my nails aren't as strong as they used to be. The only other weird thing I've had is my right eye watering in the mornings after I wake up. I told the doctor about it yesterday but he isn't too concerned, unless it starts to effect my vision - could just be a blocked tear duct thing. He also told me yesterday that I'm doing so well. My nurse Barb, scheduled my second pet scan for November 1st. The doctor seems very excited to see what the results will be since I've been doing so good! I can't wait to see! I wanna see most of that stinkin' tumor to be gone! My attitude during this whole situation has been strong and positive - I can't see myself being any other way. With such a great cure rate, how could I not be? As always, I want to thank my family, friends, and Scribes family for sticking by my side! I thank God everyday for putting such wonderful people in my life. Thanks for reading, see you at my next post! :)
