Update after 7th treatment

I am very excited to write this particular post, because of some exceptional good news I received on April 25th.  This date was my half way point to complete my 6 cycles, and as discussed with my oncologist when we started, I would be due for a mid treatment CT scan.  I have done that on the 24th, and could not wait until the 25th to meet and discuss with the doctor about it.


With that said, we met on the 25th and to say it plainly, the CT scans came back clear.  What does that mean? Well, if I were to go to a new oncologist to get diagnosed based on my scans, they would not be able to detect anything. 


My oncologist has stated that I have to complete my treatment, even though it is clear and that only scar tissue shows on the scans, something normal.


I will keep everyone posted with more photos, after my 8th treatment. 


Overall, I feel very tired a few days after the infusion day, however I gain energy slowly after 4th day on, with occasional crappy days after.  The second week after chemo, my energy levels are back to normal.  


I have started to see my hair thin out; however, I am hesitant to shave it yet.  Oh well, when the need comes, I will shave it off.


I want to thank all of you for thinking of me, praying for me and sending me positive energy.  God is Good!

Sunt foarte bucuroasa sa anunt ca pe data de Aprilie 25 am primit niste vesti foarte bune. Precum stabilit cu doctorul oncolog, dupa 6 tratamente, a trebuit sa fac o tomografie sa revizuim ganglionii limfatici.  Tomografia a fost facuta pe 24 aprilie, iar pe 25 doctorul ne-a anuntat ca nu se mai vede nimic pe film.  Ce inseamna asta? Daca ar fii sa imi faca un diagnostic acum, nu ar putea fii identificat si ca arata ca la o persoana normala.


Tratamentul trebuie terminat pt celelalte 6 sesiuni, iar pe 25 am si avut a 7a sesiune de infuzie.


Am sa mai pun poze in continuare si dupa tratamentul 8.


Ma simt obosita a doua zi dupa tratament, dar incet incet nivelul de energie imi revine dupa a 4a zi.  Sunt cateva zile can ma simt un pic mai obosita, dar in general ma simt ok dupa o saptamanta dupa tratament.


Parul a inceput sa mi se rareasca si mai tare, dar inca nu ma tund zero.  Cand va fii nevoie am sa il tund de tot.  


Vreau sa multumesc tuturor ca va ganditi la mine, ca va rugati pentru mine si ca imi trimiteti energie pozitiva.  Dumnezeu e Bun!
