I Am Done
Today marks exactly two weeks from my last chemo treatment. Today would have been a treatment day, but I didn’t have to go back to the green vinyl chair. I didn’t have to get hooked up to an IV and watch the poison slowly drip into my veins. I won’t have to deal with pain and nausea this weekend or a slow recovery next week. There will be no more hair loss or mouth sores or constipation or inability to taste or painkillers or steroids or exhaustion.
It has taken all this time, but I think it is finally starting to sink in that I am done with chemo.

HORRAY KIM! May I ask: how and when is it determined that you might be finished with chemo treatment. Do you (obviously) have to pass muster by various doctors, etc? Or is it a predetermined date, regardless of progress? I am so happy for you, Kim.

those are the most beautiful words to see written. what relief! isn't life SO beautiful? can you BELIEVE you made it through all THAT? I still find it hard to imagine life on chemo again. I hope it looks to be in the rearview mirror for you very soon too. from here on out, each step just gets better than the last! congratulations!
