Chemo round 2
I had my second chemo treatment this past week on Thursday. I earned a pink "Livestrong" running shirt and Justin and Jenni sent me a pink Nike sports backpack and pink arm sport bands. I was excited to earn my new items. I was NOT looking forward to Thursday but I had so much support from everyone this past week. Callie had a bake sale to earn money on behalf of me for her relay of life and Justin and Jenni donated money on behalf of me at a dinner fundraiser. On Thursday, we had friends wear pink to show support and Thursday morning right before I left for treatment, the cleaners that my family paid for showed up to clean our house. I had two women volunteer their time to watch kids while I was at treatment and after so I could rest. That night, we had dinner that was made by great friends. With all this help and support I knew I could make it through. This week so far hasn't been too bad, the next few days will tell us how last treatment compares to this treatment. Mike and I shaved our heads on Friday. I was losing my hair and so we "bic-ed" together and then went for a bald walk around the block. I never dreamed of making these kind of memories together.

Isn't it a wonderful feeling to know that you are loved by so many. I hope that you're feeling well. This week you have given me the courage to increase my running time up to 10 minutes on the treadmill...I have to keep it at that pace for awhile as my heart rate goes through the roof while running but I feel amazing after my cool down.
