Mile 26!
Tomorrow is my last chemo treatement! It seems like it has been a long 4 months. And yet at the same time I am so grateful that it has been ONLY four months. As I wrote to someone recently, chemo has been easier and harder than I thought. The week of my chemo I felt horrible (especially during those 1st AC treatments), with different physical and emotional issues each day. The second week I felt completely fine, like I didn't even have cancer. This horrible bald head was my only indication that I even was going through chemo.
I must say I am SO HAPPY it is ending. If I knew for sure I wasn't going to knock over someone in their walker, I'd do cartwheels out of that place! Plus, I can't really celebrate until the last of the shooting pains are gone. So sometime next week, I'll be jumping for joy!
But this is just one "marathon" I have completed on my way to getting my body rid of all this cancer and preventing anymore from occuring. Next, will be my radiation treatments. That will not be as lengthy, but it will occur more often. More info on that after I meet with my oncologist tomorrow.
Another huge THANK YOU to everyone who has been part of my support system during these past few months.

Life can change in a flash - glad it is all gone, relatively (cann you say that) well.
Good luck with the oncologist this week.

You look GREAT! WAHOOO!!!!! It's been a long road but God has been with you every step of the way. He promised that He would NEVER leave you & He hasn't.
Continue to run your race with patience; for the race is it is not given to the swift or to the strong but to the one that endures to the end!

That is wonderful news! I am so glad for you that it is almost over. I feel that through your ordeal you have been a blessing and an inspiration to those of us you have so freely shared your journey with. You are a strong, brave, and spirit filled young woman.
