It is chemo week. Again. Every 21 days is another round of chemo all of 2017. That can be a blessing or a curse, it’s how you choose to look at it. Each passing day I get a bit more tired but will regain my strength next week. Below are some things I am reading and watching as time passes through this process. May 2nd will be 7 months from my grand mal seizure that started this all…7 months since I have driven a car, 7 months of almost daily seizures, 7 months of daily medications but also 7th months of people extending kindness to me and my family that I have never experienced before. I have a Black Tie Event this Saturday and you can count me in and mostly likely on the dance floor. You only get one shot at this people. Next week I have a stay in the hospital (sadly no visitors allowed) and the day after I hopefully get out I have the Head for the Cure 5k Sat, May 6. Join the Mom in Business walking team here.
