Little vacation from chemo treatment this week

I had such a hard week last week between going into the cancer center  on Wednesday for 2 liters of saline, recuperating from that in time for the barium episode Friday, I asked my doctor if I could take off this week from the chemo and just go next week. She explained my CT scan to me and told me she would like me to have a procedure to check  a thickening in the wall of my rectum!  So today Gastroenterology Associates called to make a consultation appointment.  So thrilling!!!!Always something to keep us all busy and wondering.  
Dr. Paul  told me I could take this week off from chemo if that is what I wanted and I did!  Before I left though, she gave me an IV liter of saline.
And, we had a nice Valentine's Day after all.❤❤❤ Treated to take-outs from Neighbors' Place to lobster for me and steak for Agustin by Ruthie and Bill!
Yesterday and today have been a treat as well.  Went for a walk yesterday, had no diarrhea or nausea and ate well these last few days!.
  It is a real blessing for me to feel "normal" when not under the influence of the chemo.  It raises my spirits, I have more energy which I usually don't have and feel very thankful for this respite.  And, of course, I have not been having pain or bloating at all.  Gracias a Dios!!
This is just a short update!!
