Update from Mel : Feb 2

Update posted by Jackie OConnor

Hi everyone, here's another update Mel wanted to share with you :

So yesterday was my first treatment. 1 down 5 more to go! I went to the mall before treatment because I needed to get a new backpack to carry all my papers and meds. I had a pill I needed to take a hour before treatment so I opened it in the mall and OF COURSE it feel under a closed door that my husband had to try and wiggle his way in. Definitely an pretty funny site to see I'm sure. Then I had to go for treatment which was nothing like I expected. I expected to walk in and see everyone sad because they were there but I was the only one crying. Everyone was happy, laughing, some even playing cards and there was me, a blubbering mess the whole time. We had a social worker talking to us during the whole treatment which took our mind off of things so that was great. The afternoon was good. I felt OK for the most part, but one evening hit I felt like someone had drugged me.... although as I write that I realize someone did drug me but you get what I mean. I had no control over my body or mind. I was really sick all night and couldn't hold anything down. This morning I woke up still really weak but as the day went on and all the meds kicked in I felt really good. I went for my injection and when I came home I had a lot of energy but I took it easy since I figured it was just the meds. Tomorrow is suppose to be "a good day" and then day 4, 5, 6 and 7 are suppose to be the worst. So I'm going to try and make the most out of tomorrow.

Just thought I would share since I have had a lot of people reaching out to me with such beautiful messages. And thank you to everyone who has taken the time to reach out to us, bring us home cooked meals and left them on our door step. We truly appreciate it. We are so blessed and so loved it's amazing!
