halfway point

One of my mom's sisters who I am very close with was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in January of last year. I remember thinking, if I ever went through anything like that, I would finally be reading again, watching all my silly shows on netflix all the time and and watching movies like crazy. Alas, I hadn't been doing any of those things, until recently! I just hadn't been able to concentrate enough until recently. I am on my second book and totally lost in it, which is great for my head lately. I also just went to the movies for the first time in forever and it was so great to get fully submerged into something besides my life for once. I had a rough weekend, being really fatigued and the book and the movie really helped me get "out of my head" for a while. I am trying to take it day by day but it's hard to think that way when I am at the half way point and I know that I have to go through what I just went through all over again for another 12 weeks.

This week I have 3 drs appointments! I need to schedule them on my good weeks so they all ended up on the same week some how. I am seeing a pulmonologist tomorrrow as a second opinion on my lungs. I am very excited about this because a friend strongly recommended this Dr and when I brought his name up to my oncologist he immediately lit up and said I love him I will get you an apt right away! and he did!

I am also seeing a radiologist this week. I am curious to hear his opinion on radiation and my lungs. I am also seeing a genetic counselor to have some genetic testing done.

In other news, my hair has stopped growing so lets just hope that means just that and that it won't fall out!
