Ok so 8 isn’t that great, but hey, having 8 chemo’s done feels like a pretty good accomplishment these days. I thought I would post a little on treatment #8. Everything was fine. There actually isn’t a lot to report, except for the fever update. As you know, I have had a fever the night after my treatment for the last 2 times. They now think it’s a reaction to one of the chemo drugs. So they let me take Aleve this time. So as soon as I got home I took Aleve and low and behold, it worked…no fever!! So it looks like that will be my new thing for the remainder of my treatments, which is great news.
My mom came with me this time. She has been so good to come with me to my appointments. Everyone in my family has been taking turns, but I think this was her 4th time coming with me. Thanks mom, I love you, it’s fun to have you there to talk to through the long process.
The other big news is that next Tuesday, June 10, I have my PET Scan. I had this scan when I was first diagnosed to help stage the cancer. I haven’t had one since and this scan will show how much progress has been made to me becoming cancer free. If the results are good, then I will finish my last 4 treatments of chemo as scheduled. If the results don’t look as good as they hoped by this point then I will need 8 more treatments! Ugh…so I am asking that everyone pray that the results will come back so that I only need to have 4 more treatments. I won’t get the results until my next treatment, June 16 but I will let you all know as soon as I find out.
Thanks for all your prayers, keep them coming!!

Yes we are praying and praying that the scan will look good. It was fun to see you this weekend. I love your shaved head, I think it is hot!
Hi Sheri! Glad you made it through your 8th treatment with no fever. :) I hope the results from your PET Scan come back great so you can be done with your treatments. You'll continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
Ok, so that made it sound like I think you'll be done with treatments if your PET Scan comes back okay. I meant, I hope it comes back good so you won't have to have more treatments than you were already planning. :)
