Getting Away

We just got back from our little family vacation to St. Louis. I was really looking forward to getting "away from it all", but I really didn't get away from anything. Usually for me when I have stress going on in my life, it is usually caused by other people's issues and getting away can really help. This time it is me that is the stressor and well, I took myself, my bald head, my cancer with me. So I really didn't get away from anything, but we did have a great time. It reminded me that I can't really run away from this one but it also reminded me that I can do this my way!

We went to a lot of neat places and had good food along the way. I think by far our favorite place was the City Museum. I think because while we were their we witnessed Jaxon overcome many fears and have a crazy good time. I also ran up and made it to the top of a 12 foot near vertical wall (looked kind of like a skateboard ramp). I saw teenage boys unable to do this so I have to say that it made this 38 y/o cancer pt. feel really good!!!

Jen made a point to take some pics of Jaxon and I, so I thought I would post a few pics from our trip.

Only 3 days to my last treatment of AC. I must say I am ready to get it over with. I do not look forward to all the side effects but this will be the last time to deal with this. I will have 4 weeks off before I start the first cycle of my next medications and a whole new list of side effects! I keep trying to remind myself that there is light at the end of this nasty, yucky tunnel!!!!
