Well folks, Friday was the last of the short chemo treatments. As of the 17th we move onto the "T" portion. Apparently the side effects can be worse with this treatment, more achy and more tired - but I'm not on the worst "T" - I'm only on the Taxol. The good news is that the side effects will not be so bad, but the bad news is that it kicks the bejeezus out of the white blood cells. No getting out of 10 Neupogen injections for this chick.
I am fortunate that the children are well fed due to the wonderful friends and family who have rallied 'round. I know Logan is at peace when he sees food coming into the home:)
I ran into NC and her mom, Germaine, last Thursday when I was in for my pre-chemo blood work. Germaine is a patient with a similar diagnosis to mine and she was on her last chemo treatment. Apparently friends and family get to come to the last session and the patient gets to ring a bell and there is a send off. For anyone intersted, circle March 30th on your calendars. If nothing goes wrong then that will be my last day of chemo and I'll certainly be ringing that damned bell loud and long!
NC's mom is a true inspiration to me and NC promised to send a photo of the two of us that I can post on the blog. Look for it soon! Cheers everyone.
