last chemo today... hopefully

today is the eighth and final chemo treatment. wow. i never thought it would come around so fast.

fingers crossed though, i have a cold, sore throat, sneezes and streaming nose (well, the streaming nose has been a chemo feature all along). when i spoke to the nurse yesterday she seemed to agree with me that unless i had a fever it would be alright. but i have spent the last week, both before and since the cold took hold, worrying that something would happen and i wouldn't be able to have the last treatment on schedule.

Bill leaves for Chile in less than a week. i expect to be at my lowest point when he leaves and pick up a couple of days after. if my treatment is delayed, it will mean i go through my whole low point while he's away. not good.

fingers crossed all round, please?

done and dusted

all done. 8 chemo treatments, and here i am, alive and kicking. well, almost.

we went for a celebratory lunch, i even had a glass of wine. i am now exhausted and will spend the rest of the afternoon in my bed.

but - yay! chemo, done and dusted. go me!

just the herceptin to go...

the usual update will be along after i've had a nap. or tomorrow. or sometime in the next few days.
