Why the title for this blog?

I struggle with staying positive in the sight of adversity. It is very easy for me to dwell on the negative aspects of my situation and miss the blessings that come from the trial and so I will use this blog to help me stay focused on the rainbows of my life.

Lab results

I had my first lab work completed after the first round of Chemo and all levels were within the normal range. I was able to compare the lab results with those that I had done prior to chemo and have seen the changes that are taking place. The bone marrow is taking a hit, which we knew that it would. Dr Oken had originally asked that my blood be checked once per week but has requested that I get it checked again on Thursday. He wants to keep a close watch on it to see how low it is going to go. So we I'll be back at the hospital on Thursday for more lab work.

I have been pretty tired and been battling lose stools this week but I hope to be done with that problem by the weeks end. I'm still keeping a daily journal to help me learn what works to help me feel better. It's a lot of paperwork but it will be worth it if I can lead a fairly normal lifestyle throughout this process.
