Can't sleep !!

Good Morning every one. Its 3:50 A.M., I can't sleep . I have been up & down since 12:30.
This new chemo is kicking my butt. Its called Cisplatin, along with it I'm getting Toposar ((VP-16), which I was on before.
The 1st day went into about 7 hours ,2nd day almost 5 hours .We'll see what today brings .
There is a real good chance ( the hair I did grow back ) could be leaving me again. ( boohoo)
He told me he may only have to do 3 rounds of chemo , but the infusion lab has me down for 6, , but thats ok , All long as it gets this BEAST back out of me . Because of the cisplatin, even on my 2 weeks off from chemo ,I still have to go in on those Tuesdays because I have to have blood work done . Cisplatin can mess with your kidneys ,and other things , I'm glad of it tho because it will keep a constant watch on my white cell count , platelets , & so on & so on .
Thank - You everyone for still keeping up with my blog . I love hearing from everyone & REALLY do appreciate , all the loves and prayers

Its chemo again not radiation !!!!! & some pics

Good Morning to everyone .
I just wanted to add a bit to Jeannies awesome blog on my doc appt. I FINALLY heard from them yesterday & he chose the chemo. I feel better about 3 rounds of chemo then I do 1 zap of radiation.

He said hopefully 3 rounds will take care of it .
He had to change up on 1 of the meds from the last chemo, so I pray my body accepts it as well as it did before .
I will get a call back today, with what my appts. will be for the 1st round .

I love each and everyone of you's that have kept me in your prayers, I feel it sure worked last time & hoping for the same this time . I'm adding some pics ranging from 8-10-08 ( 2 months b-4 diagnosis) then being on predisone for 0ver 5 months till just a couple weeks ago.
