So, I trust that everyone's holidays went well. We are at the good ol' UC Davis Cancer Center for Cycle 5, Infusion 1. Which means we are at number 9 of 12. After asking Kym how she has felt since her last infusion just before Christmas she said "Tired is a understatement". I would say she hovers more on exhaustion on a daily basis.
We spent the last couple of weeks at the Sinclair cabin for the Holidays. We had a great Xmas with the whole clan present for dinner. Even Grandpa Ron and Uncle Tom joined us. It was only a couple days post infusion so Kym was pretty zapped for the first week we were there. More family came and went over the next couple of days and then Kym and I were alone for New Years Eve. We had a nice quiet date night. Pajamas and a toast at Midnight. "To a much better 2012".
We hope very much that after Feb 15th (last infusion) that Kym's scans will reveal she has beaten this and we can begin to rebuild. In true Kym fashion she is already asking her Oncologist when she can go back to work. Makes me proud to know what a fighter she is, that as tired as she is and the pain and all the side effects she feels on a daily basis; she is looking down the road. I am in awe of her strength. I have known some pretty strong people in my life, and she has a place in the top of that list.
We want to wish everyone a healthy and safe New Year. Please join us in celebrating the year we believe will show Kym Cancer Free.
