So here I sit on the eve of my final chemo treatment and it's kind of a surreal feeling. On the one hand, I am so glad it's almost over and on the other hand I don't want to go. It's never fun to get chemo and I'm gonna feel like crap up till about Saturday night so it's not technically over for me until then. I feel like I'm on the verge of another big shift in my life. The dynamics are changing. Some people have entered my life and some have left. I will end one kind of treatment and begin another. There will be a lot of transitioning in the next year or so.
My second round of scans has been scheduled for March 1st. That is when we will determine how much, if any, cancer is left in my body. Then I will start radiation soon after that. It's possible that my hair will start growing back soon if the radiation doesn't mess with it. I think I'll hold off on buzzing it again.
The radiology people called to ask if I'd be taking Neulasta after this next chemo because apparently it makes your bones show up black on scans. That's kind of cool. My oncologist said it was okay though since my bone marrow biopsy in October was clean.
Almost done!
