Countdown to Tuesday…Made It!

It’s TUESDAY! I’ve made it over the hump and through the side effects of the most recent chemo treatment. That means I’m now officially DONE with the 2-drug treatments and officially HALFWAY through chemo! YAY!

From here on out, we move to a 1-drug treatment which supposedly has fewer side effects to deal with. I’ll admit, at first I wasn’t mentally thinking this was as big of a milestone as it is…after all, there’s still a lot of chemo left…3 months to be exact. It’s not over yet. But over the last few days, I started realizing all the things I won’t have to do anymore going forward.

No more immune booster shots.

No more 3am alarm clocks to take anti-nausea medications.

No more nausea for that matter!

No more body aches on Sundays.

No more Mondays spent at the doctor to get extra fluids.

No more patches on my arm that we have to cover to stay dry in the shower.

The next half of chemo will have challenges of it’s own, but when you’re persevering through the long haul, celebrating the milestones big and small go a long way to staying positive. So thanks to everyone for the prayers and encouraging words, we’re halfway there!!!
