This week is the beginning of the next steps for me. I posted a few weeks ago that my PET scan had come back clear – it shows no cancer activity in my tissue. But that’s not the end of the journey. I still have surgery & more treatments for the next several months. I know that this is as foreign to many of you as it once was to me, so here are some of the details, the why of it all and what I’m facing in the coming days/weeks/months. Read More
Hello World,
It’s been One month and ten days since my last Chemo Treatment and I know I haven’t written much. It’s taken me some time just to get back to a place where I can sit down and write again. I was pretty sick with the last treatment and pretty much forced myself to eat and drink water for a couple of weeks. I still did the things that needed to be done, but the truth is that I just wanted to be put out of my misery every step of the way. Read More
I have had some wonderful people surround me and my family throughout this time of need. Just knowing that my family was loved and taken care of has been such a relief for me. Read More
It’s been 6 weeks since round 5…and I’m finally getting around to sharing about this one. I had so many emotional ups and downs with this one and I felt awful for 2 weeks. Throwing up three days in a row and not knowing what to expect is just exhausting! Read More
It’s a strange day, today being my last of my chemo treatments. You would think that I would be more excited…but this journey isn’t really over, this is just the end of the first stage. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy to be done with this 🙂 In a couple hours I’ll have finished 6 rounds of chemotherapy. To say that chemo sucks is a bit of an understatement, and I am glad to be done with it. I never want to do this again.
