More fun coming up

I'm feeling pretty tired today, and sort of have the blues, but a couple of nice phone calls have cheered me up. This just gets old, being tired. But I managed to get back onto an exercise regimen of sorts this week, and hope to only improve upon it. It makes me feel so much better. The tumor continues to shrink. Dr. Kaplan is thrilled - he says it's really responding to the treatment. I can even tell the tissue is not as dense and hard. Thank God. This week is going to be rough. My work schedule is busy, and I have to have another MRI, and a dreaded biopsy Thursday (as part of the study). The MRI doesn't bother me at all, but I hate the biopsy. It hurts and leaves my breast all beat up for weeks. I shouldn't complain though. I'm definitely not slipping through the medical cracks. My team is so awesome, from Dr. Kaplan, to Barry and Heather, the research nurses, to all the various chemo nurses and volunteers who bring me tea or whatever I need during chemo. They are all angels. My sister Cheryle, and her husband Jerry will be swinging through this week for an overnight visit. I look forward to seeing her. They flew to Florida from Alaska to pick up a new truck, and are road-tripping their way back to Alaska visiting friends and family along the way. Oh, the shots brought my white blood count up to normal last week. I only have to have one this week. They kind of gross me out because they have to be given in the belly. I just don't look, and I'm okay. The right side of my chest still looks a little funky from the port being put in, but at least it doesn't hurt so bad anymore. I don't know what else to say right now. Need to lay down. Thanks to all for listening.
