Yeah.... I have reached the end of chemo!

Another long day. My appointment was at 11:15 and I was there until 5. I am not going to miss that place at all. I do have to go back for a check up next week, but no more chemo! I have wonderful friends who called and emailed me well wishes today and Denise came and spent the long day with me (we even stopped at the mall on the way home) and my buddy Rich cooked me a huge dinner! I am very lucky to have such terrific friends!

Now there are a few things I have to do before I can return to the real world. I need to see a radiologist. I think they said I have to go for radiation everyday for six weeks, I am hoping I can do that and work, but I will find out once I meet the new doctor. I also have to go to a pulmonary doctor because I still have that stupid cough. I think it is from the new rug in my bedroom and the three furry things living in my house. (My doc said it seems like it is asthma related to my allergies). I also may have to go back to the surgeon, something about the way my infection healed that time, but my doctor said to go to the radiologist first.

This all sounds like a lot, but I am thrilled because I can still see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am so happy and hoping that my last treatment does not bring that stupid joint pain! But I have good drugs for that! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. I will keep you up to date. If you want my email is dmh180@gmail.com
