A report on last chemotherapy

 


Just a short post to say I  pulled off yesterday - my last official chemotherapy - in fine order. Met with the oncologist to talk about the future. It is looking much brighter. Like I am ready to feel human again.

Next week I come back to the clinic to start new infusions. These will be once every three weeks and they will not have any chemo drugs in them, only the healthy good stuff to continue attacking any remaining cancer. They have no bad side effects. I continue these infusions until next November. That's when I can hopefully ring my celebratory bell.  I've had my bell rung quite a bit this year. Time to ring theirs!!!!

I discovered my very sore fingernails and toenails should start improving next week after the toxic drugs clean out, and my energy should start returning along with my hair. How wonderful and grateful I am for these new pieces of information. It's the small things that make such a difference. So much I am thankful for these days. I am so blessed that God has been by my side through this whole process.

The oncologist also gave me permission to get an appointment for tooth removal next week. Will set that up today. I have never been so excited to have a tooth extracted! After that is done, I may just do some celebrating!!! I just pray it will not get infected. Since my blood work is better, it will hopefully heal well.

So that is my update. Just keeping you in the loop. Have a marvelous day today and everyday.
