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.

Round 2 Begins

Today I spent five hours in the chemo chair. I was told that my scalp will start to hurt and that I will be losing my hair. I was also told that my blood is not thinning out enough on the warfarin and so I have to continue giving myself shots. The good thing is that with the meds that I have been taking they were able to get my port to open up without having to give me the heart attack meds.
I am home, I am wiped out, I feel weak and tired but I am alive.
I have to go back on Thursday for more blood work and they are going to pump extra fluids into me. I have to increase my Warfarin to 10 Mg. /day I also have to place tight restrictions on foods containing Vitamin K. No more than 90mcg/ day.
I have to drink 80 ounces of water/ day.
The doctor also ordered anti- anxiety medications for me so now I have to readjust all my med times.
It is time for my shot
