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 4; Week 1 Labs

My lab work came back looking real good today! They will drop from here over the next two weeks. I will be having my CT scan on May 3rd.
That would be my normal chemo day but Dr. Oken wants to see just how much this tumor has responded to the full four rounds of chemo that I have already had. I know that it is responding as people have told me that I look like I am losing weight and the scale denies it. My weight is actually pretty stable.
I am off the Prednisone for this round and am having the same withdrawal symptoms as before, they're not as bad though. After a nice nap and some medicine to combat nausea, I am feeling pretty good this afternoon!

I think I might try mowing the grass. Not sure how it will go but if I don't try I won't know!
