My Ovarian Cancer Journey

So I had my infusion day 1 of cycle 4 this past Monday, December 18th. Since Alex is on break from school, he came with me for chemo. I think it was a good day for him to go since they had holiday cookies out to share 😂  Chemo went fine Monday, and I felt fine on Tuesday. But Wednesday really knocked me out. The accumulation of chemo and side effects really hit me. I couldn't eat, I actually wound up throwing up, which I haven't done in years. Thursday wasn't much better other than I didn't throw up.

The first is staffing the Pokemon Regionals in Portland, OR the first weekend of January. Even if we need to do a 5th cycle, that weekend would be almost two weeks after my 2nd infusion of cycle 4, so I should be at the best health and mobility possible during a cycle. 2. The second is Jack visiting from college in Taiwan! He will be home mid-January until mid-February. So I'm sure we will see a lot of our f...
