Coming out of the chemo fog...

Hi all,

Thursday I had the 3rd round of chemo and I couldn't get out of bed until Monday. Whew... this one kicked my butt. I cannot wait to be able type in BOLD & CAPS....I KICKED CANCER'S BUTT! I know the day is coming. I know I'm halfway through but boy oh boy is this intense. One of the toughest parts of cancer is explaining how I feel and answering the question "Do you need anything?"

There is no way to describe how I feel. When the side effects are very intense and I can't even move from side to side in my bed, I picture the chemo like little pac-men/women eating the cancer cells. It is like no other ache, pain, upset tummy, etc. Chemo has a feel all of it's own. And when you ask if I need anything... usually I just need you to tell me you love me, give me a hug and say a prayer for me.

I am thankful for all who continue to reach out to me through cards, letters, text messages, emails, rides, meals, etc... Thank you all from the bottom of my "pac lady" heart. I love you all and look forward to coming back around after I have completed the chemo.

Life will be easier and sweeter,

I <3 U,
Jude
