Yeaaaa!!! Yippee! WooHoo!! Hallelujah!!
Today was THE LAST chemo treatment. The LAST ONE everybody!! I am ecstatic. The first one was on January 28, which seems like eons ago.
So next steps: Next Monday, 5/13, I meet with the radiation doctor. I will learn what that is all about. My oncologist feels they probably won't start radiation for two weeks after that meeting, but we shall see. I don't know what all to expect, but I will learn on 5/13. As for my oncologist, I see him again in 8 weeks, which will be approximately July 1; he had them schedule the appointment already.
I know I have not written in a number of weeks. Mostly due to not feeling up to it. And now that chemo is over, I'll post again once I find out the specifics for the radiation. Not sure if I will continue this blog. I'm thinking on that.
Next steps for me: the next two weeks I will go through the side effects from this last chemo treatment and come two weeks from today I am hoping to have the strength to go to the office. My doctor said each treatment makes me weaker, and I found that yesterday and today (prior to chemo) I was awfully weak. I will see what that day two weeks from now brings.
It is going to be "interesting" watching and feeling my body return to the "before me". Especially my eyebrows! I just look so funny to me without them. And also my brain - cannot forget about the gray matter. It is interesting how I have some very strong mental days; and then some so-so mental days. I don't believe it has gotten worse than just "so-so". Dave said he would let me know if I do.
Feeling so blessed just knowing that two weeks from today I DO NOT HAVE an appointment for chemo treatment.
And also feeling blessed to have the next moment.
YAY!!!! On having 1/2 the battle completed. Thank you for always keeping us updated. Don't worry about have "so-so" mental days - I didn't know there were any other kind of mental days! Lol. I'm surprised that you are ready to close up shop here already; we'll see where your thoughts take you. I, too, haven't written in a while. I bring up a blank screen & stare at it, then close it. It'll be there when I'm ready.
