3rd round of chemo

I finished my 3rd round - 1/2 way now. The plan is to complete chemo the end of July.
All is well.
I'm working on keeping food down, trying to stop losing weight, and building back muscles.

Thanks for giving...

A big THANKS to all of you blood donors! (I used to give, but they no longer want it except in smaller quantities.) I encourage any of you who can, please give. It saves lives.

Got a blood transfusion today. Came with a few surprises. 1st. I figured in and out in about an hour. NOT. They have to give it slowly in case of rejection. 6 hours! 2nd. Because of the possibility of rejection/reaction, they gave me benadryl. Well, benadryl directly into veins gives quite a rush, then puts me out. Guess this was good after all, made the 6 hours go by quickly.
3rd. I was kinda freaked about having blood put in me. (I've only had it taken out before.) This surprises me because I've been letting them put all kinds of toxic weird stuff in me - no problem; but a little organic blood and my brain goes freaky.
Oh well, I made it through with no drama.
I'm actually feeling little stronger this evening. The person who so kindly gave me his blood must be in good shape!
thanks blood "letter"

update

I finished the first chemo round 3 weeks ago. Got to feeling pretty bad by the 3rd chemo day and continued for a couple weeks.
Now into my 2nd chemo round. First two days doing pretty well. The pre-meds (steroids, anti-nausea) are nice. I'm going for my 3rd treatment of this round today.

Had good news on Tuesday - my CA-125 (cancer marker) is down to 10. This is where it was a year ago. Will be great if I can keep it down at that level.

Kids are doing well. Really busy with end of school year activities. Jamie has a dance show this Friday and Saturday. He is in 3 dances. Jodi gets to take the SAT test on Saturday - oh boy!

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and support.
