I am feeling so much better this week off from chemo. I am still really tired, and my digestive system is having a hard time, but it feels wonderful not to be chemo sick!
We have been busy planning our trip to DisneyLand. We are all so excited! I don't know who is more excited; me or the kids! We have it booked for December 7th. Only 1 month away.
I have decided to take this month off from chemo so I can get my strength up. I would hate to go to Disney and not be able to enjoy because I am too weak and sick from chemo. It feels so liberating to know that I won't have to go be poisoned this month. I am going to still receive the Herceptin and Zometa treatments next week. Another good thing about taking this month off from chemo is I won't be sick for Thanksgiving!
Back when I began chemo again 3 months ago, we originally planned to do a 6 month course. So, to reward myself for getting halfway through, I booked a weekend trip for me & Dan to Las Vegas. We fly out tomorrow morning. I am really looking forward to the warm temperatures. We are staying at a condo that has a lazy river and hot tubs. Floating is the best pain relief. We are planning on seeing the Phantom of the Opera show, and a Cirque du soleil. My Aunt Jan lives in Vegas, so we plan on visiting her and going to church with her. It should be a relaxing and enjoyable weekend.
