Sorry it has
taken me a while to sit down and update my blog. I have been busy. Well, kind of.
If you consider “resting” A LOT to be busy, then yes….I have been VERY busy! J Last Friday I had my 3rd
big round of chemo, and much like my 1st round, I have been feeling
quite tired and nauseous afterwards.
Following my
chemo treatment, I was fortunate to be able to spend a lovely weekend with some
of my dearest college friends at a cabin up north. They spoiled me by going out
of their way to pick me up for the weekend and letting me just relax and nap
whenever I needed to. It was a restful weekend full of great friends and a lot
of much needed laughter and support! I even snuck in my first Wild game of the
season on my way home on Sunday! (They
WON by the way…and I just love it when they sound the foghorn after scoring….it
reminds me of back home in Duluth. J)
After my weekend
away, I was able to play volleyball on Monday night, but we had a double-header
and my body just felt run down and plain tired! I think the chemo caught up
with me and I had to skip volleyball on Tuesday night and all social activities
the rest of the week. I am hoping that all of my resting this week will pay off
though, because I am supposed to play in a volleyball tournament with some of
my Divas tomorrow. I can’t wait to get back out on the court!!
I spoke with my Oncologist
last week, and asked her some more questions about the timing of surgery and
next steps after chemo. I had originally thought that I would have surgery in
June or July, but she made it sound like she wants me to have surgery right
away in May to prevent any of the tumors from growing back. (On a side note…I would really like to
organize a team to walk with me on Mother’s Day for the Race for the Cure, so I
am hoping that I can work surgery in the week after the race, but we shall
see!)
Aaron and I met
with the surgeon that will perform the double mastectomy this week, we will meet with a radiation oncologist next
week, and then we need to schedule an appointment with a plastic surgeon before
I will know specific timing. For now, I am guessing my surgery will be
sometime in May, but I will keep you all posted on the specifics once I know more.
Have a wonderful
weekend!
Love to all,
Nae
