i survived my 6th and final chemo treatment before surgery. i feel good. the treatments have left me tired and about 30 pounds lighter, but my appetite is making a huge come-back. with the appetite comes the energy. i had enough energy to work almost a full day today. it was good to get back in there. most likely i won't have to have a blood transfusion before surgery, but it is possible that i will need blood during the surgery. i found out that my blood type is A+. my parents have donated and the blood will be there if i need it. not much else is going on. i am just going to try to get as strong as i can before surgery.
