My Last Day of "Normal"

Tomorrow my fight begins. A 12 round fight and I have EVERY intention of coming out victorious! It just makes me sad to think that this is possibly the last "normal" day my daughters will get from me for many months. We are just gonna hang out today. Go to the park, play, read, .... Do the things that I might be to tired to do in the days/weeks/months to come. Who knows. Maybe I will have days in which I feel "normal" during my treatment but I cannot predict that. I really hope I do.

I wanted to take some time to thank everyone, from the bottom of my heart, for all that you have done for me and my family. All the kind words, emails, uplifting comments left on the blog, offers of assistance, prayers, time taken off of work, and for caring about me and my struggle mean the world to us. What would I (we) do without the awesome support system that is in place? I could not even imagine. I am THANKFUL, so very THANKFUL to have all of you in our lives!!!!!!!!

I thought that I'd list my upcoming chemo dates (every 2 weeks) for those that were interested: Chemo#1 - tomorrow, Chemo#2 - 10/26, Chemo#3 - 11/09, Chemo#4 - 11/23, Chemo#5 - 12/07, Chemo#6 - 12/21. As this point I would be half of the way done :-). There are 12 sessions in total. If I am very lucky I might only end up doing 8 sessions. The oncologist said that he would determine this at a later date.
