About to start Chemo

Print Friendly and PDF
Well it's almost noon and not much has happened since I go here yesterday around 3pm.  I have a cold so they were debating whether or not I would even start chemo. The doctor wrote the order this morning so starting at 1pm the first poison of choice, Methotrexate, will start.  I've had Methotrexate twice in the spine and once for a regular chemo session so I know I don't have any "major" reactions to it....some people get horrible mouth sores but my Oncology sis Jenn advised me if I drink a ton of water before and with it, I will usually fare pretty well...so far she's been right! Thanks Jenn!  My housekeeper came in and she's one of those that will tell anyone her life story to anyone that will listen. Today she decided to tell me about everyone in her life that she's known that has passed away from cancer, thanks housekeeper.  Christmas was fantastic, love love love being with all my family!  The babies came from Austin. Poor Ryan had the croup but you would never know unless I told you and Rachel is just as sassy as ever. I was sad to let them go back home but Daddy is really doing a great job with them!  Having said that, it's time for me to get back to kicking this cancer out the door and trying to be as strong and healthy as possible! Thanks for all the continued prayers, it is greatly appreciated!

  1. It's so good to hear frm you Katie. I can't believe the housekeeper and the sad thing is she has no idea. I am so glad you got to see your beautiful babies that they are. We are praying hard over here at the Hodge's house. We love you snot face!
