What a way to start the year. 4 days in and I'm off for my 6th dose of Mitoxantrone (chemo). I am hoping that I will respond as I am already tired of being at home not feeling good. Okay, so I actually spend a lot of time at home, but when I have no energy to do anything, my nausea is bad, and I am basically just waiting to feel better....well that sucks!

Today is a better day however. I think I am finally on the way to feeling better. Usually within a couple of days I am feeling back to my old self after the chemo, this time, well lets just say it is 5 days after and I still feel like crap. Up to this morning I could not even hold anything down. Not a reaction I usually get. Justin made a comment that he wondered if maybe my body is getting used to the chemo. Hmm....maybe, but I am hopeful that is not the case as this has been the best treatment for me. Not to mention there are really not any other treatments out there left for me....so here's to remaining positive. :)

Speaking of being positive. This year I am hoping to get back to some of the things that led me to creating this blog in the first place. My hope for this blog was originally not only to have a place for how I am doing, but to explore new possibilities, advocacy, treatment information, and MS news....and most of all to be able to discuss all of these things with all of you. So, if I were to have a goal for this year, that would be it. Now that I have said that I am not making any promises as I am not real big on making new years resolutions (or goals) because if there is nothing else I have learned, what I do know is that life (especially with this illness) is unpredictable and you just have to live it day by day!

I hope that this finds each of you enjoying your new year, living life to its fullest, and happy! Take care.
