I'm now two weeks out from the last chemo and finally feeling better. This last chemo was *rough*. Ugh. All of the side effects were stronger and lasted for a longer period of time. As today is a Wednesday, I am so happy NOT to be receiving chemo. I'm not sure I would have had another one in me.
My taste and appetite are slowly returning and I hope to be able to enjoy some wonderful food on Thanksgiving day. On December 1st I'll meet with the surgeon, look at lab numbers, and assess my overall recovery for chemo. If things are looking good we'll proceed with surgery on December 14th, otherwise we'll push it one week later to December 21st.
There's a reason why only 6 cycles are given! Our best Christmas gift is your good health so pick the day that works best for you. I suspect you'll know by the time you see the surgeon. Hang in there. Only one more treatment event and you'll be NED!!
ReplyDeleteA big hug for you!
You never know how strong you really are until being strong is the only choice you have.
ReplyDeleteRead this quote and thought of you and Luisa...you both have come so far this year with all the ups and downs of treatment. Your faith and perseverance have been inspiring.
Bring on the last of the treatment for 2011!!
