Livestrong Day is today!

Hello all. A quick update as I'm just waiting for my ride in to the clinic. Today is Livestrong Day (the Lance Armstrong Foundation rally day) and plenty of events and rallies to raise awareness and funds for cancer research are going on all over the states. While I don't know if any of the events are in Canada, I do know that what changes in the US generally happens here too. If you've got a Livestrong wristband, wear it and wear anything yellow to show support. If you don't have a wristband, you can always go to www.livestrong.com to order your own. All the money goes to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

As for me, I'm doing pretty well. We hit a bit of a bump in the road over the last few days. I developed a bit of an infection and spiked a fever for a while. It was as high as 38.8 C. Don't ask me to convert that to Fahrenheit, my math is horrible! My blood counts are right at the bottom and I can't fight off infection myself so I'm on a week of IV antibiotics. Unfortunately this means I have to go into Vancouver every day instead of just every second day. It's a bit tiresome especially when I don't feel great to begin with.

Luckily my fever broke 2 nights ago and I'm starting to feel better. The biggest hurdle is fatigue. I get winded just walking up the stairs! As my counts rise I'll see my energy level return, I'm sure. I can't believe I have to do this all over again. The only good thing is that it will be the last round and hopefully will go smoothly. One day at a time though.

If you're reading this, why not post a comment? There haven't been any for a while and we'd love to hear from you. Bye for now, and don't forget to wear yellow today!
