I finished my 8 courses of chemotherapy this past monday, the 24th. These are my down days following the infusion. But when these aches/pains/fatigue pass this time, there is no having to go back and do it again. I'll start feeling more myself, hopefully.
I've been holed up inside for the most part over the months. Feeling weak to walk. Cold weather. Snow. More snow expected in a couple of days, and it will be March. Coming in like a lion, it seems.
In less than 3 weeks I start radiation. 5 days a week for 7 weeks. The process itself is short, maybe 10-15 minutes, but oye, everyday.
I am worried about my extensive lymph node involvement ... 17 positive out of 22 removed is not such good odds, and is what bumped me to Stage 3 cancer. I just hope the chemo/radiation kills the damn shit off.
By my 60th birthday, in May, I want to celebrate being cancer-free. Get the Jack Daniels, and roll another one.
Haven't been out (or in) with the camera, so nothing of mine to show. But here's a pic that Mel took of Logan on "picture day" for this pre-K class.
So proud of you, Myth, making it through the chemo! The hardest part seems to be over for you now. Here's to a complete and permanent remission once you're through with the radiation.
ReplyDeleteoh what a journey you are on. Keep positive, and keep moving forward as you are doing.
