Update.

It has been a while since my last post! So, I have now finished my chemotherapy! <happy happy joy joy happy happy joy!> The last round was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. It just seemed like it took forever for Friday to come. Then at last Friday came and it was time to ring the bell...

Ring this bell
three times well
The toll to clearly say
my treatment's done
this course is run
and I am on my way.

Cheesy I know, but when everyone gathered around me and cheered me on - the nurses, the ladies at the front desk, my mom and aunt, and some patients, rather, friends I made along the way. It was very touching. My daughter made me wear a tiara because I was the chemo princess. They all got a kick out of it. 

The next two week was crappy. I was throwing up like crazy and in pain. But I got through it. Now I have a very thin layer of peach fuzz growing on my head. My eyebrows are slowly starting to grow back, enough so I can follow the line to draw them in.

Tomorrow I will get mapped out for radiation. This is where they draw the marks on. I am nervous about this. It has been nice these last few weeks not having any treatments lined up. Just being able to rest. Radiation will last for 6 - 8 weeks.  Then on Friday, I will have another PET/CT scan.

I just started back to school. It was nice having so much free time! I sure am going to miss laying on the couch and being a bum - lol.
