One week after

Again it has taken me a week to recuperate from my last treatment. I had a pretty good day today. I was even able to run a couple of errands in the neighborhood. I plan to go back to work tomorrow. Next week is Teen Read Week, and I have lots of neat activities to prepare for the library onslaught. Anyway, I hope that there is a library onslaught.

When I started the chemo, I met Judy. She was going to be my chemo nurse every time I went. That didn't exactly happen, but she was my nurse this last time. She has been a cheerleader for me every time that I do visit. I took my picture with her so that you could meet her too.

I cannot believe that there is only one treatment left of the eight. It has been an ordeal. I have made it through so far; there should be no problem with the last one. Though if the doctor said I could skip the last one, you know I would.

Please take a look at my upcoming appointments. I have now started scheduling for phase two of this process. I am on the books to see my surgeon on election day. We will make the appointment for the surgery then. I am so looking forward to moving on and finally getting to eat food that tastes good to me. I haven't talked much of how bad food tastes, but chemo wreaks havoc on the taste buds.

Oh, have I told you about the hot flashes? Something else I am anticipating--the change in seasons to temper my hot flashes. More on that another day.
