Round 6, Day 5: Last Day 5!!

I am now officially a chemo graduate -- got my applause on thursday led by nurse Karen!  Here I am being unplugged.  Of course, I get to come back every three weeks to complete a year for my Herceptin infusion, but that is not supposed to have the side effects of chemo.


Mom and Susie brought me mini cupcakes to celebrate.  And I came home to a treat - surprise backdoor decorations (thanks Suzie!).


Friday my usual routine - neulasta shot and reflexology appointment.  My hip joints have been hurting somewhat this time, a potential side effect of the shot.

Saturday a walk with Bessie - the hair's coming back quick!  Sunday actually ventured out in the morning to Adams Morgan day for a bit.  Today - acupuncture.  Other than that, lots of US Open and lots of napping.  SOOOOOOOOO relieved that this is the last one!!!

    Thanks! Once I get past these last few days of stomach distress, I will start to celebrate. To clarify about the hair - it is my friend Bessie's hair which is growing in incredibly quickly ... she's about two months ahead of me. But I do have hairs now coming in, so check with me in about two months!
