A New Season in My Life

What a week!  On Monday I went to an oncologist to learn about Chemo and on Tuesday I started my first round ever.  It's such a crazy thought getting this poison pumped into my veins.  Before I continue though I should make it very clear that I don't have CANCER.  I have Myasthenia Gravis which is a rare autoimmune disorder and have had it since I was 13.  I've been taking prednisone for the past 15 years now and it's time for a change.  My body can't handle the weight, the joint aches, night sweats and my mood swings.  Doing chemo was the last choice and my only option after the steriods.  Anyway, I started on Tuesday.  Mom was late picking me up and stressed me out that day.  She apologized for needing to go to renew her license on one of the scariest days of my life. When I got there I wanted to cry b/c of what I was about to do.  But God is Good and ever so gently reminded me that life could be alot harder and that I could be on of these people with cancer.  Thank God for that. 

The treatment went well.  I felt groggy afterwards but was back to myself a few hours later.  I also had a blood clot come out of my nose and a weird bruising on my arm.  Today, which is 2 days later, I woke up exshausted, tummy hurting and my taste buds acting all crazy.  That is all for now but I'm living in daily fear of waking up with hair next to me instead of on my head.
