Three more treatments and I am done with chemo...oh my goodness that sounds amazing :)
Karley and my neighbor Tonya went to treatment with me today. They got to see what a day in the life of a chemo patient was like. Consensus, pretty long and boring haha Karley really liked my doctor. Dr. Kaplan is pretty cool. I did well today through everything, but poor Tonya, Karley and I both crashed the whole way home. Sorry Tonya :( Since I got home I have been feeling okay. I am still real achy. My back aches, my legs ache, I just ache. I think a lot of this is from the neopogen shots that I get on Wednesdays and Thursday. Those shots make my bone marrow work overtime to keep my blood counts up. The body must only be able to handle so much of this poison that they are pumping into me. My blood counts just don't want to stay up very good. I have still been able to get treatments, but the numbers are lower than they have been all along. Karley is planning on being a nurse and she definitely does not want to be an infusion nurse haha.
I have an appointment scheduled for April 9th for an MRI and a CT SCAN. This will be to check to see how all of this chemo has done. I am hoping for a "complete response". Oh please, oh please, oh please.
Then my last appointment for chemo is on the 13th of April so I will be able to discuss all the results with him. Also on the 13th I will see Dr. Buchanan, my breast surgeon to go over the final details of my surgery with the new MRI and CT.
I forgot to take a picture of Tonya, Karley and me today :( Karley and I just tried to take a picture to post, but we both decided we are to ugly right now We tried though :) hahaha
You are far from ugly...you are my beautiful sister...love you!
