Just a quick update since the last post to let everyone know how things are going and how Sarah is doing! Seriously I think that Sarah needs to own this blog a little more and take some ownership of keeping this updated....so please make sure to give her shit for not doing her part and making ME take the lead on HER blog! HaHa....Just kidding I certainly don't mind updating it at all!
So Sarah has decided to start chemo on May 26th (Tuesdays for the course of the treatment)....she figured that it would be better this way so that she has the tail end of the week to recover so that she does have some of her weekends available during treatment. Just a quick recap....the treatment will be 9 weeks long with treatment every 3 weeks so the chemo dates will be 5/26, 6/16, 7/7, and 7/28. Then she will be done with chemo. Let's hope that is passes that quickly as well.
Sarah has started back to work and she says it feels great to be back to her normal routine as weird as that sounds to be happy to go back to work.....I told her I would be content just hanging out at home and not go back to work! That's not her personality at all to just sit around.....which is a good thing when you're battling cancer. Her positive attitude and spirit over the last two months helped make her healing time much more reasonable. At no time was she sitting around depressed and crying about her situation.....not to say there weren't any tears or stress from time to time but she wasn't going to let this keep her down! She starts PT tomorrow so that should help with the limited movement of her left arm which seems to be improving more and more everyday but keeping mobility and reducing inflammation is essential to prevent lymphedema which she will be more susceptible too since the removal of the 14 lymph nodes. Again just comes with the situation.
Other than that we are all doing great here and just enjoying some normalcy before chemo starts up....the meals have been so great and helpful...it's almost sad that there is no more meal calendar until we figure out what we need during her chemo treatments! I have gotten spoiled with not having to make dinner every night....so thank you to Kristin & Kyle Smith, The Boggs, Amy Bowman, Jennifer and Chris Woelkers, Tammi Short, and Leah Nelson for all of he great meals we have received since the last blog update. We will discuss the needs for meals as chemo nears and update everyone for those of you that still want to help with meals....most likely we will just plan for a couple days following each treatment but we will update everyone soon!
As always thank you to everyone for your love, support, and help.....we wouldn't be doing so well without all of you!
Hey Cancer.....you messed with the wrong Bitch!
Thank you.....Mac
