So, I have done it. This time tomorrow I will be FINISHED with all 8 of my chemo therapies. It seems to have taken forever to get to say that. There are no words to describe just how excited and happy I am to have made this milestone. Trust me, 8 doses of toxic drugs in your system every two weeks is NOT EASY!!!! I can appreciate that so much more now.
First, thank you to EVERYONE for EVERYTHING that was done for me and my family. I have learned the true meaning of love and friendship from so many people. Some people which I do not know all that well. The prayers, cards, food, gifts, flowers,transportation, personal time, use of personal computer equipment...the list goes on and on. I am humbled beyond expression....that means a lot from the woman with a lot of words.
I start my day tomorrow with a manicure because this one is definitely earned. Who knows, I might just do pink(and I HATE the color pink). Then my quest at the oncologist begins at 10. And you can trust me when I say that I will not be leaving the doctor tomorrow without my last chemo completed. Tomorrow I am probably going to be a very vocal patient at my doctors office for many reasons. Either way, a major and important milestone has been met. I will pray during my entire infusion tomorrow that if any cancer cells did break off that they were all beaten by this chemo. I will not accept that this series of treatments did not work and face another cancer later. I WILL NOT GIVE UP...EVER!!!!!
Thank you God for the strength to get this far as well as the love that was needed to do it. Hopefully, most of the tears from hear on out will be of joy. Talk soon after I am done.
I never expected to be 35 and fighting breast cancer. Control freak, that is me. When I was pregnant, loosing control of my body and emotions was very difficult. I expect this battle against cancer to be similar, just amplified greatly. I have one goal---SURVIVE. I have too much life yet lived. I will never give up.
This year promises to be a time of change...both physically and emotionally. It is my hope to find at least one positive, happy thought every day and to try and apply that to this site. So come along and join me in the fight of my life....
