Chemotherapy - Round 2 - And some photos

Ding, ding.  Round 2 of chemo starts this morning at 8:30 am.  6 treatments total, ending in February.   I'm still on the same regiment (FOLFIRINOX) but at the original dosage I began with Round 1 in August.  (My oncologist upped my dosage at treatment 4 during Round 1, and that was completely horrible, so we're not doing that again, thankfully.)

I'm nervous, but mostly because the side effects are so terrible.  At least I've been able to pack on the pounds and work out in the interval since my last treatment.  I'm almost at 200 lbs., which is about 12 lbs. heavier than when I started Round 1 in August.  So I've got some wiggle room to lose weight.  This is a good thing.  Like Dr. John says, I'm trying to accentuate the pos-i-tive.  It isn't always easy to be upbeat, but I'm doing my best.

Here's a photo of me and my pooh bear, Tina.  It makes me smile. 

And here's me and my mom on Thanksgiving Day at my in-law's house:
