2nd Treatment/Injection

Today I went to get my 2nd injection. It went well, but I do feel nauseated :-( and I have a funny taste in my mouth. Discussed with the nurse some side effects from the last time and so we will monitor and it will be documented again if it happens again. The nurse from the clinical study will tell the oncologist of all the side effects going on and the ongoing problem of lack of sleep. 

Mom and Dad went home today.. we'll miss them so and we're so thankful that they were able to come over to spend time with us and help us out the past 3 weeks. We enjoyed our time with them. They're coming back next month to do the Walk to Empower walk with us on Mothers Day before they leave for a 2-week tour of the Holy Land with Frendell. 

I continue to struggle in my mind about the pieces of my life that I need to pick up and put back together. I hope I will be able to go back to work soon.. the mounting medical bills have been on my mind; I also don't want to be completely out of the loop in my job environment either and I am already feeling like I'm forgetting the language. So, I pray that therapy will continue to go well and that soon, I'll be able to use my right arm without it swelling. In the meantime, I will try to walk everyday so I can at least cross the finish mile of the 1-mile walk. Are you walking everyday as well?
