So this morning I went in for the second half of 5-FU. I was really not feeling well. The nausea has been much worse this cycle. I take the medication to keep it under control. But today just before getting the chemo I almost cried to my nice nurse. I think I am just tired. I remember when I was first diagnosed I kept saying that I was tough and that I could take the physical abuse due to chemo. And I do take it but it is getting harder and harder. With time the chemicals accumulate in my body even more so each cycle is a little harder. Buuuut I have only one cycle left.
Today was the first day of classes. And now we are a university. Our name changed from Mesa State College to Colorado Mesa University. The students were back, our campus that was quite quiet over the summer became alive again. In the morning I wasn't sure if I could teach my two classes, but I did. As a matter of fact it felt good to be in class again. I put hand sanitizer probably 20 times today. And thankfully tomorrow will be not too hard also. In the morning I go in for the Neulasta shot and then I will have the same classes as I did today, so no need for new prep. Yaaay for my department for getting me a relatively easy teaching load this semester. Do not get me wrong, I am teaching 12 credit hours and I will have almost 250 students this semester - isn't that crazy? But at least I have taught these classes before so it is much easier.
OK I better wrap up and go to sleep, I took my pill that will help with the nausea and make me sleepy :)
Cheers everybody!
