Bye Bye to Chemo!!

I am officially done with all Chemo. I am sooo excited to be done with this phase. I can't believe this day is finally here. My sister Christy, who is visiting from California, came with me. She brought me balloons to congratulate me on being done. She has a daughter that just finished a 2 1/2 year treatment for Leukemia so you would think she would be the last one that wanted to step foot into another cancer clinic but she did, and she was actually excited about it.



There was a lady there whose husband was just starting chemo for the first time that day. I felt bad that he was just starting because I remember meeting someone my first day that was just finishing and I never thought I would never finish...but here I am, done!

The nurses there gave me a bottle of sparkling cider to congratulate me. I finally took some pictures at the clinic. I had never taken any pictures of me at the clinic so I finally brought my camera along to document it.



The other good news is, I get my port out tomorrow. So soon, but they wanted it to quickly so I would have 2 weeks of healing before they started my radiation. So tomorrow is the port removal. Hopefully it's not as painful as it was going in.

Then in 2 weeks, on Aug. 12, I meet with my radiation doctor to get all ready for that and then radiation should start just a few days after that. They are still estimating 3 weeks but I will know more when I meet with them.

I'll update in a few days and let everyone know how the port removal went. Until then, I am just enjoying the last of the chemo side effects. Ok, enjoying is a little strong but knowing once they go away they aren't coming back makes me feel soooo good.

So BYE BYE to Chemo!!!!!!!!!!!!
