A lot of people ask me how I’m doing. It’s hard to answer that question, especially now that I am going through chemotherapy. There are so many ups and downs.

I’ve had three rounds of chemo now, and I have three more rounds to go. It feels weird to be halfway through, but it also feels like I’m not REALLY halfway through anything at all. We don’t know what lies next. Heck, at this point, we don’t even know if the chemo is working.

So yes, I’m halfway through the six chemotherapy sessions we have planned, but there’s still a LONG road ahead.

Every three weeks, I get a three hour infusion of Paclitaxel and 30 minutes of Carboplatin. The process takes about five to six hours altogether. Honestly, the infusion itself isn’t the part I dread. It’s the days after, as the fatigue and achiness take over my body, that I can never seem to prepare myself for.

For today’s video, I wanted to share with you the process of going through chemo. It’s usually not a super dramatic process for me… I go in, get my blood checked, meet with the doctors, get my infusion, go home… and wait for the side effects to kick in. I try to enjoy any small moments I can before I just don’t feel like doing anything at all.

It feels like a slow, but steady, weakening washing over my entire body. I usually hit a pretty low point mentally just before it starts to lift ever so slightly and the fog begins to clear.

There are many more things I could share about chemotherapy. The video is just a small glimpse, but hopefully it gives you some idea of what I’m going through. As always, let us know if you have questions, and I’ll try to answer them in a future video.

Thank you for the continued encouragement as I face this fight. I may not be able to respond to everyone or read every message, but it does help on those low days to know I’m not doing this alone. ❤️
