I can hardly believe we are here! Last chemo tomorrow. This week was Kyles 23rd birthday, so
happy birthday to you son. I love you so much honey! Seems a very long
time that I have wished for this time of the year to come...means I'm really
close to my very last chemo day...our family is very excited to put
this date Jan 24th. behind us all! It represents the completion of
18rounds of weekly chemo, so 21 chemo treatments in total.
Last week I felt brave enough to say to my Dr
so whats next..after chemo I mean. So the plan wll be to have my port
out asap and that date will be Feb 12th in Brandon. Then meet with
Winnipeg surgeon and drs on Feb 19th. I will be monitored closely and go
between seeing Brandon and Winnipeg Drs.
For now,need to get this
week behind us. Last chemo day,last calender,last set of
steriods,last needles...oh man..Im emotional just thinking about putting
this part of it all behind me and the family. Kelly is so excited to
not have to give me needles anymore thats forsure!!
Im feeling
ok...just really tired and they tell me I am going to need lots of resting
for awhile. Not sure what I will do with all my time as I wont need to
be at cancer care 2 days a week after this week. Im sure going to miss
all those wonderful staff people that I consider my friends..they have
become a big part of my support and my life since May. I will never
forget thier caring and compasion.
Well think thats all..Kelly continues to be my rock and those little grandsons of our keep us smiling at the world.
Keeping you in the loop
Always, Donna
