Well, tomorrow I go in for round 2A of chemo....(same as the first 30 day induction round). It's supposed to be pretty intense from what I understand, but I didn't have any problems the first time so I'm praying for the same this time. I'm not really worried, although I do not really enjoy the unknown. I'm sure all will be fine. The only major difference this time is I have a port in my chest instead of a PICC line....they do have to stick a 1 inch needle into my chest to access it and I'm definitely not a fan...stick me all day with needles and I don't mind, but this port thing...not fun. Everyone says I'll get used to it....um, no I won't, I can assure you that right now! Yeah ,yeah I know all the "benefits" of it but still. I wonder if my doctor reads this...I would love to blog about him right now, once again, not a big fan! That's all I'll say about that right now. So I think I'm way over packing for this gig but I can't stand hospital gowns and all the staff know I wear all my own clothes. I guess I got bored packing for the next 30 days because I'm sitting here blogging...this is probably why I've never had a blog, a) I feel scatterbrained as I keep switching subjects, and b) my life doesn't seem that interesting to myself. But I had a blog to read just days after I was diagnosed by a wonderful man who had the same diagnosis as me, so I was able to know what I was "in for" for the most part and I hope one day I can return that favor for someone who stumbles upon this by pure chance! Well, I'll keep everyone updated this next month! Still Fighting,
Katie
