Chemotherapy, quite a ride.

I have now had two chemo treatments.  After the first one the most noticeable affect that I experienced was an irresistible urge to sleep.  All the time.  Whenever I was not eating or going to the bathroom I was sleeping.  That lasted for almost a week.  This time around was slower to start, I didn't start sleeping until well into the second day, but so far the effect is the same.  I think I may be coming out of it now [at least I hope so] so I thought I'd do a little writing to try and keep me up.

 Aside from the sleeping the chemo appears to be doing what it's supposed to do.  I have no pain, which is a big one for me.   Although, my face is almost completely numb now, making eating somewhat of a challenge, but fortunately not impossible, so it's not doing much to combat the growth in my orbital bone.  I have a series of radiation treatments coming up which will hopefully alleviate that problem.  They had to make a mask which is molded to my face in order to keep me perfectly still during the "zapping" process.  It's kinda neat, I might post a picture of it when we're done, (I get to keep it)  it might make a neat profile pic.

Spiritually I'm feeling pretty good, overall.  There is a lot of frustration from the fact that I'm weak as a kitten (and sleeping like one) and sometimes that brings me down, but I have a tremendous amount of love and support from my Friends and Family that keeps me strong and optimistic.  Sometimes I think the power of that love is more healing for me than all of these treatments and medications combined!  It certainly feels that way most of the time.  If it wasn't for that I'm sure that I would probably be dead already.  If there is one thing that I have learned from this challenging experience it's that the power of love is very real!  It should never be underestimated, or taken for granted.

I guess that's all for now.  I'm gonna have a shower and attempt to join the land of the living for a little while.  Or maybe I'll have a quick nap.  haha.

Peace.
