Third Treatment

Just had the third of four chemo treatments last Thursday.  I can hardly wait to be finished!  Even though there are moments when I like my Avatar, the last airbender, looks, I will be happy to have hair back on my head.

The effects so far this treatment, the blechy mouth taste, digestive disruptions that are manageable, super hot flashes, a couple nights of waking up over and over again, but no straight up insomnia.  Did I mention afternoon and evening fatique.  Seems I need a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon, and I'm unable to focus much on any real life conversation the rest of the evening.  

Most notably, I'm almost afraid to say it....little or no joint pain!   Acupuncture?  Increased Tolerance? Yoga? Livestrong?  Whatever it is, I'm happy about it.  Whew.  (I hope it doesn't show up tonight.)
