Hey everyone, sorry I haven’t updated in a while. I’ve been very busy/sick the last week or so. I started a new clinical trial on Thursday. It’s an 8 week trial and it’s pretty much my last hope before a bone marrow transplant is my only option. The trial consists of intramuscular and spinal shots, IV treatments, and daily pills. It’s been pretty rough on my body. The two worst side effects are the extreme fatigue and the chronic bone pain. I was so tired and sick feeling on Sunday that I actually had to leave church early and went and fell asleep in the car. After arriving home, I slept the rest of the day as well (except about 45 minutes for dinner and a little “family” chatting). I’m back to work after a 3 week “vacation.” I took the time off to recover from my last round of chemo but can’t afford to take any more time off so my job is working with me on a flexable schedule. 3 days, MWF, and if I can’t work any days they have extra coverage so it’s cool. They are being really great working with me and I’m so appreciative for that. My manager said, as long as I want to work I’m welcome to, if not, take all the time I need. But that’s all I have for the night. Will write more as things progress. Continued prayers are appreciated and thank you to everyone who has sent Get Well cards, they are posted on my dresser drawers as inspiration when I get up everyday
