FOURTH & FINAL INFUSION!

Woo Hoo! I made it through the fourth infusion and won't have to deal with the weekly trips to the Cancer Center for awhile. I also am done with my weekly lab trips to get blood work and only have to go once a month now before my monthly clinic visits with my oncologist. So I continue with cycle 2 of the Revlimid and then on August 4th I have a scan and see my doctor August 7th to check my progress and see if I go to cycle 3 of the Revlimid if he feels I am handling it well and progressing with it. I think I mentioned before that my oncologist won't determine if I need further infusions and need another treatment option until my scan at the end of cycle 3 which will be in September. So far so good I think. I have been doing pretty good. I have some pain in my pelvic, rib, abdominal and back areas but it could be a good thing. The tumors tend to act up and ache before they shrink up and go away so hopefully that is what is happening. I am just trying to pace myself, rest and heal. Next Monday I am spending the week at a house in Tahoe with friends and family that my friend Kieran so generously donated for the week so that I can rest and recuperate. I am looking forward to getting out of my house for awhile and out of this heat. I am off to visit the babies but wanted to give you all a quick update and let you know all is well. I visited with a friend today and she said if she can't even tell I've been sick or what I've been going through, that I look healthy. Nice to know I wear sick well. LOL! Thank you all again for your support and keeping me in your prayers. I am forever grateful. Love, Vicki
