Long time, no blog.

It's been almost a month since my last post. I'm sure you've all been on the edge of you seats.  The reason for the delay? I've been on a "treatment holiday" from chemo!  Woo Hoo! That means I've been out there living it up so much that I haven't had time to write.

I start treatment again in a little over a week. I'll also be having an MRI that day to investigate some spots on my liver. These spots have been there since my diagnosis and the consensus has been that they weren't cancer.  But after my most recent ct scan, the two radiology reports disagreed with each other, so hence the MRI to settle their dispute.  Never a dull moment with me. I like to keep those world class doctors on their toes!

During my treatment holiday, I've been back at work, full time, every day. It's been great. I'm feeling much less fatigued and the neuropathy and mouth sores have decreased. We also purchased a new car! I'll blog about that decision soon as a follow up on my "To buy or not to buy" post.

In the mean time, as you nail-bitingly await my next post, you can listen to me on The Stupid Cancer Show or read my guest blog on Hope for Young Adults With Cancer.

Finally, I wanted to share my latest awesome idea. If my treatment schedule stays the same, I'll have infusion on Halloween, meaning I'll have to wear my Wonder Woman costume to the hospital instead of to work.  So I've decided to go reverse trick or treating in the infusion suite. Instead of going door to door and getting treats because of my awesome costume, I'll go infusion chair to infusion chair and give out treats (probably rubber bracelets if I can find them cheap enough). I know, you wish you'd thought of this first, but instead of moping about that, steal my idea and go reverse trick or treating yourself. We'll start a revolution, spreading awareness and joy as we go!
