Today I go in for what should be my last bad chemo treatment. I'm exited about this but also dreading it. Happy it's the last one. But I know what's coming. At least a week of feeling pretty darn icky.
But it's a small price to pay to get to be here for a long, long time. So even though there's a part of me that wants to call and cancel my appointment, I won't. I'll show up. I'll take my medicine and then I'll come home and climb into bed and hope the worst passes quickly.
For you though, this time I've gotten a few guest posts to share so the blog won't be completely empty. My only rule for the guest posts was there were no rules. I told them to write about anything they wanted to. I think it will be fun to have some different posts on here. I like having guest posters. I think I'll try to do it again someday.
{Also, if you want to guest post, let me know! Pop me an e-mail at Brandie185 (at) gmail (dot) com. I'd love it!}
As for me, I'll probably be doing a lot of resting for the next week or so. And also, probably celebrating making it through the first four doses of chemotherapy. Because truly? It feels like a huge accomplishment to me. I'm proud of me for getting through. More than once I wished I could have quit. But I didn't. A lot of that is because of all the support I've been given. So thank you all for that.
get that last dose and then rest, baby girl! rest! rest! rest! i wish i lived closer so i could help out around your house during the icky times. i'll be thinking of you. xo
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad this is the last dose of that medicine! Here's to better things the next round. :) Hang in there....hope you're doing ok.
ReplyDeleteSo amazed and proud of you, Brandie, and your approach to all of this. Sending continual good thoughts your way, most especially that this last dose will be better than expected. Rest and be kind to yourself. BTW, you are darned cute in those beautiful scarves! xo Chris, San Diego
