Treatment #6 - CHEMO IS DONE!!!

Today was a great day....CHEMO #6, my LAST chemo is done!!!!  Woo hoo!  Celebrate!  When this started in May I didn't think we would get to chemo #6 and now I can say that part is done.  Only a few more days of feeling yucky from chemo - woo hoo!!!  I can do this - I DID do this!!  Yea Me!  :)

Here is a picture of me at my LAST chemo!  Now, I do have to go to the oncology center every 3 weeks until next May for 2 medicines I need due to the type of cancer I have.  Being Her2neu positive, I need two meds called Herceptin and Perjeta to protect me - but the good news is they do not have any adverse side effect.  I think I can handle that!

 

When I came home, I was greeted by the boys, my mother in law Nancy and a beautiful display of flowers, a celebration sign and a box of cards.  My sister-in-law Debbie arranged for cards to be sent to her for me and I am so touched by the gesture and by everyone who thought of me and sent a card.  I haven't even gotten to open them yet but I can't wait!!!  I am so very touched - thank you everyone!  Mission Complete is right!

Me with my signs and beautiful flowers from my boss and his wife (a 6 year breast cancer survivor), my loving family (and as you know, my Mom a 12 year breast cancer survivor - GO MOM!), and Dave's wonderful family.  I love you all!  Thank you!

 My journey is not yet done, but I am one step closer to the end!!!  A few changes today - my surgery date was rescheduled for October 9th.  I will have about 6-8 weeks recovery time after and then radiation will start.  That will be 5 days a week for 6 weeks.  Then 6-12 months after radiation I will have a final reconstructive surgery.  So - the journey is still long, but again - being done with chemo, this HUGE step feels so good!!!
