February 26th

SHORT REPORT: Good news is I had chemo yesterday... but the doctor has cut out the Oxyplatin due to low blood counts. This should help me stay on schedule with the rest of my chemo treatments which is very important.

MORE DETAILS: I fell asleep really early yesterday after treatment, and then woke up about 1:30am and started making soup and answering emails. Good thing I'm a flexible person! I am a little anxious and excited as to how the side effects will change now that Oxyplatin is out of the mix. The Doc said not to expect too much right away.. that Oxyplatin will stay in my body and continue to cause side effects for some time - Some of them may actually get worse before they get better :-(

The good news is that the platelet count should come up - which I hope means more energy and less headaches - although it didn't seem that way last night!

I think I'll have some green tea... meditate on my flower essences.. and practice tai chi - or maybe I'll just go back to bed... hmmm? Onward through the fog!

Much love,
Sia
