A good week!

Hopefully I'm not jinxing it but it has been an uneventful week between treatments.  I had a great week! Best week so far!! As the school year wraps up, so does some of the kids' activities. We'll miss soccer, tball and ballet, but also look forward to the summertime freedom!

The hardest part about this treatment plan so far is not knowing how I feel on a daily basis. I am also not able to spend extended time in the sun so it really limits all the summer activities that we typically enjoy during the summer months. It has been hard making concrete plans with family and friends. I'm very much a planner so I have quickly learned to adapt to going with the flow. I still struggle with it from time to time but learning and getting better.

This is Carter's first summer attending summer camp so we went to visit the camping ground where he will be spending the bulk of his summer weeks. I still clearly remember in January when the summer camp registration opened up, I was mapping out and planning his summer weeks. This summer is not shaping out to the summer I had planned but we'll get through it. We'll make it up next summer! 😊

Lately I noticed I feel especially angry. I don't know how to describe it other than I transform to Hulk! I want to destroy things--although never done but I so want to flip over tables and chairs! I think I have a case of roid rage but since I'm not typically an angry person, it is somewhat comical!  It  is especially funny when I tell people I'm going to destroy them or mess them up. People generally just look at me and laugh! I guess it is to be expected since I'm not all too threatening. Luckily the roid rage is rather temporary. I may have to pick up lifting, if it worsens. 😜

  1. One thing about chemo...it is FULL of surprises. Thr roid rage is just one more thing to get through.It's probably a blessing in disguise...an opportunity to let of steam and some of the frustration of what you are going through. ♡
