I had Chemo #9 earlier this week than usual so that I would feel better on Saturday which is my friend Jessica's Wedding Shower.  It will be my first time to not be at home for that first weekend after chemo.  I am a little nervous, but I think I will be able to survive it. 

I met my new nurse yesterday.  She is very nice and everything went well.  Lanita was there when I got there so she got me all set up and "plugged in;" the new nurse just changed my IV bags the rest of the day.  She seemed a little frazzled, but I would be too if it was my first day and I was all by myself! 

I also talked to my doctor.  He said he "finally" looked at my chest x-ray from a month ago (not the kind of thing you like to hear your doctor say) and my chest tumor is still shrinking.  I am having another x-ray tomorrow and the plan is still to keep going with chemo until the chest tumor no longer responds.  It is good to know that it is still responding, but it really stinks to not have a date I can pin down as my last chemo.  If I did I could be like "ok, only 1 month left- I can do one more month!  1 more month is easy!" but instead its like I'm in limbo.  I was so dissapointed when I wasn't done after 4 months, I'm scared to assume I'll be done after 6 months just to be dissapointed again.

Well, I'm leaving for Dallas on Friday and I will be there for an entire week (woo hoo!) including my birthday and my online classes begin next week as well.  Hopefully all that activity will make this chemo go by super-fast!
