4th Chemo:
It is now the Monday after treatment. I hate to write anything before now because I don't want to sound like a whiner. It was not bad, by Sunday afternoon I feel pretty good. Today I feel normal. Next round will be a different drug and the side effects should also be different, most say it is better so we'll see.
Ryan is done with baseball season, he is recruiting and doing camps and I am done with school. Life is slowing down a little bit. Ryan has been good to stick around and take care of everything like a single parent. We still stay busy with the kids, now I just have to keep them entertained throughout the summer with pool days, park days and summer camps.
Through all of this I can already say I have learned empathy, sympathy and humbleness. You never picture yourself being the one that needs help. To accept it takes some getting used to. I really appreciate my family. My mom comes once a week, my two sister-in-laws break into my house and clean for me, and all my in-laws keep my fashionable with hats and scarves. I have a great family! I know there are people in worse situations, I just want life to be back to normal.
Huge thanks to everyone!
Love always,
ANG

It was so fun to talk to you the other day. Was it ever a question that WE ALL love you and are willing to help you out in any way possible?? Hope the next few weeks go well. We'll see you soon. Love you!
i hope you know the kids will be "entertained" at my house ( i am thinking we will hire clowns & magicians every day ha ha...) and you can take a well deserved & needed rest. i can't wait to get there and see you & the kids.
Thank you for writing down your thoughts, even though it is probably not an easy thing for you to do. We pray for you Ang and love you.
I'm so glad Angela showed me your blog. Hang in there, Angie. You and my dad have so much strength.. What an amazing thing your students did to show their love and support for you.
Love,
Nicole
