No updates because things have been good!

Hello! On Thursday, I will have my fourth and final AC chemo treatment, and then after that I will start T (taxol) chemo. I have handled the AC chemo pretty well (I say this from a little bit of distance from the last session, so I'm feeling good right now), and I'm hoping the T goes similarly smoothly, but you never know. One of the concerns with the T regimen is neuropathy, so I'm a little worried about that, but we'll see!

I have been doing my PT and OT exercises pretty much every day, in addition to a little bit of strength training with free weights and stationary bike time (it's very hot out so I am not doing too much outside exercise, though I am still going for walks sometimes). I have a little gym area set up in my basement and it's been very handy for this. I put on an episode of a food show to have playing in the background, and I spend 30-45 minutes going through everything. The hardest part of any routine is getting started, so even though I only have to do these exercises a couple of times a week, I have been doing them daily because I want to establish this habit and keep it going. It really does help my energy level to stay active. 

I continue to feel good! I am a little apprehensive about learning the new "here's when I feel bad" patterns with the next chemo treatment, but I am trying to stop myself from worrying before it's time to worry. I know how AC has gone, I still have one AC treatment left, and I'm going to get through that. 

It's hard to focus on the next thing instead of getting overwhelmed by EVERYTHING that will eventually happen, but I'm doing my best!
