Well I've just finished my third round of chemo. I'm a little tired, but so far not too many other horrible side effects. My mood is good and I've watched so many movies this week. I've been taking it super easy all week long so that I will have the energy to do all the exciting things I have planned for this Christmas season.
My last chemo cycle will be in January. As of right now, I am planning to take the winter intersession off from school so that I am fully recovered and ready to go for the Spring semester. And then on to graduation in May!
I'm also planning to have the colostomy reversed over the Spring Break, but that too is subject to change. I'm thinking it would be a good idea to be ready to go to work as soon as I graduate, rather than still having health issues to take care of.
Well my Christmas tree is up, and plans are to have Christmas at my house this year. Now I just have to get the gifts wrapped. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Best week in months
Well I've just had the best week since I found out I have cancer. I've been feeling almost like my normal self again. I've had energy, and I've been joking and smiling almost every day since Thanksgiving. It really makes me feel like I am going to truly survive the cancer treatment and return to my normal life.
Next Monday, the 8th, I start the third cycle of chemo. I've done so much this past week so that I can really take it easy once the treatment starts up. I plan to sit on the couch, watch videos and DVDs, and eat homemade applesauce and potato soup. I'm going to really take it easy this time through so that hopefully the recovery period will be shorter.
Classes are almost done for this semester. I can't believe how fast the semesters fly by! I'll be done with cancer, chemo, the ostomy, and school before I know it.
I'm really looking forward to this Christmas. It is going to be a simple one this year without all the extravagent gifts. Tomorrow my tree goes up and I can't wait to get out the ornaments and decorate.
Have a wonderful weekend!
