Today was Chemo
Day. Matt drove me to the
appointment. Before I went to Chemo I
went to see Dr. Brad Smith, my surgeon, about a lump I had found between my
scar and the chest wall. He said it felt
like a lump of fat but they made an appointment with ultrasound to check it out
to be sure. They can remove it no matter
what since it’s right where I lay my arm when I sleep so it feels like I have a
marble between my arm and chest. There
was quite a bit of fluid on my left side and some on my right so he will drain
those on Tuesday during my follow-up.

Then off to
Chemo. Another lady was there who was
just starting chemo for cancer of the uterus.
She already had radiation, then hysterectomy, now chemo. It’s amazing to me how different all of the
treatments are for the different cancers.
It took about
4 hours to get everything done. I was
feeling pretty tired afterward. Today I had
to start taking Clarion for 3 days.
Matt went up
to visit with Rachel and Braxton while I was in Chemo. Apparently, Rachel wanted to take a shower so
she had Matt feet Braxton in the meantime.
It was a good thing he put all of the “puff snacks” on the bib instead
of putting it on Braxton. Braxton can
see an amateur a mile away and was going to make sure everyone else could see
him also.

Matt picked
me up and took me back to Blackfoot. I
went to walk with Lori at her school but I was really worn out. I laid on her classroom floor while she was
straightening her room for the summer. I
was so tired by the time I got home that I pretty much just went to sleep.
