I'm feeling like I'm continually getting better all the time. It has been a long, hard road, but I am getting more endurance as time goes by. For instance, I haven't been able to change the sheets on my bed for a long time - probably since last February, or longer. Friends have helped me change them, and sometimes I would try to help; but I would have to take a break between every piece of linen. Put on half the mattress pad - lie down on the bed for a minute. Put on half the fitted sheet - lie down on the bed for a minute. Put on half the flat sheet . . . you see how this went. Most people just said they would do it all themselves. But tonight a friend was helping me change the sheets, and I didn't have to take any breaks at all! and I wasn't out of breath! And I didn't collapse when it was over!

I'm also feeling some apprehension. My chemo was finally rescheduled after my bout with Covid, and I begin on Monday. I'm having a port placed this Thursday. Truth to tell, I'm freaking out a little bit. I haven't cut my hair yet - I'm not sure when to cut it. Will my hair all fall out after the first treatment? Or will it take two or more treatments for it to fall out? I have no idea. I have some good web resources to read about the whole process, but I haven't been able to make myself read them yet, because I start to get agitated and nervous. I guess I will be reading that this weekend. Wish me luck, please!
