Onto the next chapter in "my life with cancer"
So chemo is done! Yay! Yay! Hip Hip Hooray! I received my last Neulasta injection this past Tuesday and am living through the affects of it now....not so much fun but I'll get through it....just another day or two. No more Decadron to add weight and puffiness to my face and hips...I should start to see that dissipate in the next couple of weeks. And finally....I'll have use for all the razors I was given again....not that it's been that bad, in fact...I have to say if there was a flip-side....the "no shaving" thing was the best. Knowing my luck I'll get all hairy now and need 200 electrolysis treatments...lol...
Tomorrow morning, bright and early, I meet up with my radiologist to discuss the radiation plans. While I'm definitely not looking forward to this either....it should be and I say "should be" easier to take than the chemo was...and I only say that because really....the chemo was yucky....but it was way better than I had ever expected. I guess that's what $25,000.00 gets ya!
And as usual, I will make my trek to LGH in 2 1/2 weeks for my tri-weekly treatment of Herceptin until the end of this year....when I propose to make one hell of a party! These treatments should be a breeze and I can drive myself there and back....the 45 minute drive there and back and 30 minute treatment will be more of a nuisance than anything but....it should save my ass from my boobies being invaded ever again *cross fingers and toes*.
And there you have it....as far as today goes...I'll take it easy while the electrical jabs go through my bones and take care of my little girl who's been home with a sore throat these last couple of days....I still have to be careful that I don't get sick, so I'm not smooching as much as I'd like to.
Sunday we have the Sun Run that I will NOT be running in but rather walking....as far as I can. My doctor okayed it as long as my blood levels don't dip down too far as I'm still on the edge of needing another blood transfusion. Hmmm....I should get one Saturday night and then I should be good to sprint the whole thing!!
Well that be all for now...it's more than you've gotten from me for a while now...there should be more....I'm getting back into the writing mode....especially since the laptop is up and running once again. It was touch and go here for a while while the laptop was "down"....at least according to one sick little girl.
Have a great one!
