One Long Saturday

So, another tailgate done and I was more tired than last one, but haven't felt as well all week anyway so I was just happy I was able to go.  I do say everyone else has stepped up and I do very little at the games.  I did manage to run the battery down on the car - oops.  I have to laugh at people seeing me for the first time - and their reaction and some of the same questions.  We have one older friend who comes to the tailgates every time and he just puts it right out there.  He sat and talked with me and just said - "what kind of cancer do you have?"   I honestly can say no one has just spit it out like that.  He said it with the best of intentions and offered to do anything for us we would need and I believe he and his wife would do just that.   Another friend, whom I have not seen since all of this has been known, is also a bc survivor but had a very early stage, was trying to tell me how she knows how I feel because she just cried when she first heard her diagnosis and how I must be struggling some days - wow, is that not true for me and I tried to explain that to her and she just smiled.  

All in all, another good day, and as always look forward to Sunday to regroup.  Chemo is this week again, but the last one for this cycle.  Taxol is my next chemo cocktail and it is said to be a little easier than what I have been doing this time - but it is all about how one reacts.  Suppose to be little or no nausea and I will not need the Nuelasta shot the day after.  Time will tell - I will stay positive and just be happy to get that next cycle started - and you know why - the sooner it starts, the sooner it is over.  That is what the doctor says too.  

Again, all is good - (ok, maybe not ND football so far this year)
