Feeling A Little Shaky

I was able to get a goodnight's sleep. Before I went to sleep I read almost all of the book I bought for Kellie - I couldn't put it down. I never thought about how having the BRCA gene is like you've been given a medical prophecy and now you have to make a decision about what you're going to do with it. It has opened a whole new door of thoughts for me. I'm also supposed to take this test - more for just knowledge and to know if Katelynn could also have the chance of carrying the gene. Please keep Kel in your prayers as she walks through this very confusing journey and the decisions she'll have to make.

This morning I woke up with a very quessy stomach. My Mum's banana bread hit the spot and I was able to take my handful of medications with it. I also woke up looking like I have a bad sunburn. I think I've shared that this has happened with the last two treatments. I'll just have to take Benadryl until it subsides.

So, today it's just take it easy and rest. Pray that I would be able to drink a lot and flush out my system. Nothing tastes good the next several days - not even water, but it's so important to drink as much as I can. Typically on Fridays I don't feel so bad - it's Saturday and Sunday that are the tough ones. I'm just going to take it hour by hour.

If you don't hear from me...you know why. My love to you all.
