Cycle # 7 : Bring It On!

After eight days of feeling good I am ready for tomorrow - infusion #7. I will get this one over with and then I will have only one more!

I have taken my first dose of steriods and am having the usual hot flashes. At 11:00 pm I will take the final dose of steriods and we will leave the air conditioner set a little lower to help me with the hot flashes I will have throughout the night.

I have my list made out of what I do to stay strong and positive - just in case I forget again and my jar of marbles is in a more prominent place as another reminder. I have not made the sign - but it is on the list in case I need to do that also.

I have added a photo to my profile. The photographer was Karla at Jadwin Photography and the photo was taken for the Breast Cancer Awareness Month publication in The Bakersfield Californian later this month. When I saw the proof I realized that I did want a copy as a keepsake of this journey I am on. The blog does not publish the picture in a size that allows for a good focus unless you click on the picture and then select View Full Size on the profile page.

Jadwin Photography provided the photos for the publication at no charge to participants and I think Karla did a great job. So, if you are in Bakersfield and looking for a good photographer I recommend Jadwin Photography.

I may not write a post again until some time next week after the side effects are over. Until then here is something for you to think about from Cooper Edens If You're Afraid of the Dark, Remember the Night Rainbow:

If the bus doesn't come ... catch a fast cloud.
