Tomorrow is the day I go in to
talk to Dr. Gore about the results of my CT scan and to find out if I will need
more chemotherapy or not. I’m really nervous but I have a good feeling about
it. I’ve tried to stay busy the entire week to keep my mind off of that and
other frustrations. One night I had dinner with my mom, the next night with my
friends Jessica and Allison, the next night with my dad, and the night after
that with a new guy. Wednesday during the day I spent five hours at my
university trying to get things sorted out so that I can do a study abroad.
Right now I prefer to study in at Lund U in Sweden but that is partly because I did
not know much about the programs at TU Dortmund. I talked the international coordinator
at my university and she gave me more information about TU Dortmund and about
study abroad in general. I’m going to ask my oncologist tomorrow if he thinks I
will be healthy enough to go to Sweden in January, and if he says no, I will
have to let that dream go for now and hopefully I can go to Germany in April or
May.

Today I am starting the “paleo diet,” which was recommended to me by my sweet friend Linnéa. I’ve mentioned
that chemo caused me to gain a bit of weight instead of lose it, which is
apparently common. This diet meant to help not just with weight loss, but to
improve a person’s health. I will update with any progress on that front.
And now I am going to try to make
the most out of this Sunday.
