Chemotherapy Round 3

I'm almost midway through!! In terms of both this cycle, and for all 6 cycles as well. I think my body is getting more used to the chemotherapy drugs because I have been coping pretty well. 

Plus, even more great news- Dr Eric (my cardiologist) came by the other day and said that my ECG this week didn't show anymore irregular heartbeats! Previously one day after the surgery it came back, but apparently that's because the heart is in the "healing process". Hopefully these irregular heartbeats will be gone forever!! But he mentioned that they'll only be able to confirm it after a few months when everything stabilizes. 

On a sidenote, the oncology team who visited me this morning told me that there's another girl (in her late 20s) who just got admitted in the next room with a similar condition as me. She just came over, and I was glad to be able to share my experiences. I hope I managed to make her feel more at ease - it's always comforting to know that you're not alone... I pray that she'll have a smooth recovery too!
