Chemo cycle five!

We had a very nice day on Friday.

My TCScan was at 9:am, then we both had our blood work done. Ted's was more extensive than mine. This time for me was not the cancer marker, but only to test my hemoglobin, and that is looking good. Ted's result we find out June the 9th, that is when we both have an appointment with the oncologist.

After our appointments we went out for breakfast, as I was not allowed to have anything to eat before the scan.

I did start with chemo cycle five on Friday. For some reason, my hand and feet have not stopped feeling sensitive, but it is manageable. The nurse told me how badly some people's hands look. The chemo seems to peel the skin off both hands and feet, what a strange drug! So I just have to wonder how this cycle is going to work out. I keep slapping on the "Udder balm", which works very good, it so softens the skin. My niece Monica got it for me in Toronto and mailed it to me, thanks again Monica!

In the evening we went out for supper at Dalton's, very nice place and the food is good. Isn't it great to be alive? I am just so thankful we were able to do this together.

It was such a nice day weather wise as well, so I decided in the afternoon to get some bedding plants. So far I have not been able to do any work outside. But tomorrow promises to be a nice day.

As you can tell, some of the tulips are coming up.
