Here's an EXCELLENT subject, tomorrow is my LAST CHEMO TREATMENT!!!! Can you tell that I'm glad? Hopefully #8 goes as smoothly as the #7.
After chemo is done, I have a 3D mammogram, MRI, meeting with my surgeon, and numerous meetings with my radiation oncologist either already scheduled or waiting to be scheduled. I will then have surgery (lumpectomy), followed by 6 weeks (M-F) of radiation. If I can make it through 8 rounds of chemo, I can make it through anything!
Here's a pic from chemo #7, not sure if i put it in the last blog.

You have to have some humor with all of this, so here's a funny story. Our tub was draining slow, so Mike got the snake out, and headed to the basement to see if he could clear out the drain. He pulled out the biggest, smelliest, most disgusting wads of hair! I say wads - plural - because it didn't end after the 1st one. Mike continued to pull 2 more (equally large) hairballs out after that! He looked at me as the culprit, and i said it couldn't be - I DON'T HAVE HAIR! hahaha!
It was probably me, from when I did have hair, but it was really funny at the time! I said I was going to take a pic of the hairball, and Mike said to put as a caption "the upside to chemo - this will never happen to your drain!" Again, humor is needed when going through chemo, its the only way to survive! : )
