Finally!! My first treatment!

After the news on May 8th that the cancer could not be surgically removed and radiation done, we were instructed to return to M. D. Anderson on Wednesday May 13th to meet with the Chemo Dr. On Wednesday, I was told I had stage 4 of 4, cancer that had spread to the lymph node under my left arm. I began my chemo treatments on Friday, May 15th around 6pm. From there I would have a treatment every 3 weeks. On Saturday, I woke up feeling fine. I even thought maybe they did not give me enough. We came home to Monroe, LA and on Sunday it hit me. I felt horrible. I was out of commission all week. I did not come into the office except for about 30 mins on Friday, May 22nd. I began to feel better toward the weekend. I did come to work for the afternoon on May 26th. My employees could visibly notice the swelling around my jaw and neck had drastically reduced. This coming Wednesday, June 3rd, I am to meet with the chemo Dr. At this point, we may find out more about my prognosis as it hinges on how the chemo is working. On Friday, June 5th, I am scheduled for another chemo treatment.
