I think I can I think I can! Another one down today. It was super easy and I was in and out in less than 2 hours again - IV went in nice and easy. I finished my book (City of Thieves - highly recommend it) and caught up on celebrity gossip. I'm home now, and I feel some mixed feelings about being this close to the finish line. Of course of course I am thrilled to think that in 3 weeks I will be able to say I'm done with chemo. But then what? I am scared about what lies ahead and what will fill my days as I'm awaiting surgery. In reality I know I'll have plenty to do, most importantly healing and resting and recharging my oh so depleted battery. But the next phase is of course another unknown and I don't do well with the unexpected.
I am hoping to take a few short trips to visit some friends and family in other parts of California. And once my energy starts to return to normal I am looking forward to spending more time in the pool and losing the 5 or 6 lbs I've gained since I started chemo. I am eating a lot and have not been very active so of course it's gonna effect my metabolism.
We are looking forward to returning to some sense of normalcy, even if it's a "new normal". Up next is the 14th - my appt with the GYN oncologist. We'll see what comes of that...
