Feeling good 😎

Haven’t written in a while because we’ve been busy! We celebrated Ben’s 5th birthday this past weekend. Couldn’t have a big party obviously, but we had a few very small get togethers with friends and family.

I’ve been feeling great and it’s been awesome. 😎 I’ve recovered from surgery, and my energy level is back up to normal! 👏🏻 I’ve been able to do a lot more with the kids (which is great. And also really hard. Lol).

Of course I’m not done with treatment, though. Haha. The fun starts up again next week. Immunotherapy starts Monday and radiation starts the week after.

Immunotherapy infusions are once every 3 weeks at Dana Farber. Radiation is everyday Monday-Friday for ~4 weeks at Lahey in Burlington. Both are to help make sure the cancer doesn’t come back. 🤞🏻

The radiation may cause some fatigue and skin irritation, but shouldn’t have other side effects. And the immunotherapy may cause some fatigue and minor stomach issues, but nothing like what I was dealing with before with the chemo. So hopefully it won’t be too bad!

I gotta say, now that I’m feeling pretty good, this pandemic really sucks! 🤣 During chemo I was miserable and didn’t want to do anything anyway. But now I want to go places and do things, and we still can’t do much! How have you all been dealing with this for 5 months already?!?!? Hahaha. Sigh.

Can’t believe tomorrow it’s August. 🤔 What a weird year!
