It's official!!

Today my oncologist told me that after surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, that I am considered cancer free. AMEN!

It's been a very long 11 months. I am so happy to be done.

I am a cancer survivor!!!!

WOOHOO!!!

Chemo cancelled this week too...........

I had my chemo cancelled this week too. My numbers were too low. I didn't even feel bad, and the nurses said I didn't look bad at all, because they said last time, I looked ill.

Oh well. Life goes on. It just extends chemo into March now. I have plans for my month off, but now that may change.

I hope I do not have to cancel chemo again. I only have FOUR treatments left!

Chemo cancelled this week....

My chemo infusion was cancelled Tuesday due to a low White Blood count. To say I was disappointed is an understatement.

I spent Monday and Tuesday having a pity party for myself. I was miserable. Then I turned things around by Wednesday morning and the week has been good. I also went in for fluids Wednesday morning and that helped me feel better. I wasn't able to eat or drink much due to mouth and tongue sores, but that is under control now too.

I have plans in the spring. I need to get through chemo and radiation without too many more delays.

Cancer update...........

Each week on Monday, I go to the cancer clinic to have labs drawn for chemo on Tuesday. I also see the doctor. This Monday, he told me I was strong and that I was an outlier. Mostly because I feel pretty good going through this round of chemo and because I'm doing well.

I am glad I am doing well, and it's been a pleasant surprise that I am not flat on my back unable to function. I'm somewhere in between that and doing great.
I have off days, but I am mostly able to do my daily activities, chores, cooking, laundry. I am thankful for that every day.

Yesterdays infusion was my mid way point in this leg of my treatment. I am HALFWAY done with this round of chemo. Yes, I count down each week. It's just something that helps me.

I will have a month off in March. I have lots of plans, but I also still have doctor appointments. Many of them. But I've got my eyes on March!

That's my update for today.
