one down, 11 still to go.

so far this chemo isn't as brutal as the dense-dose AC stuff. i'm not nauseated constantly, for one. but there are still side effects and they are still pretty lousy. my nails are starting to hurt (the nail beds are bleeding) and so it's hard to type... in addition to anything else you might need your fingers for. like pressing the home button on a phone. or peeling any protective foil off food stuff.

so i'm emotionally pretty low. i'm trying to stay physically active because the doctors and nurses say that's important and helps fight the cancer back too. but it's hard when you feel massive depression crushing you from above.

i'm still struggling to make my way through my backlog from before i was diagnosed. i'm hoping to be done before i start radiation therapy.
