Where does it hurt?

Today is Day 1. Chemo today and tomorrow and the shots and on and on and on. And so it goes. People keep asking, "How much longer do you have to do this?" It's a valid question. But it also seems to be the question - like when you're pregnant and every single person asks when you're due. I'm sure by the end of 3 months, most mothers-to-be want to have that shit tattooed to their forehead. Well, I don't even have a date to get tattooed. "Several months of aggressive chemotherapy." That's the sentence the Boston doctor said. So ... several months, I guess?

We do have that marker though. The hormone level. It started at 64,000 and now it's just 249. Like, Holy Shit, how amazing is that drop?!?! It dropped from 298 to 249 last week - not as dramatic but still heading in the right direction.

My worry is that it will start just creeping down now. Every single point will be a big deal. I just want it to be zero so badly. Maybe today??

In the meantime, I'm a little achy all over. Chris - in true doctor form - asked, "Where does it hurt?" All I could say is, "All over." How's that for being specific??
