100th Chemo infusion today...
 

Yes, really... 100!!
I don't know if this is something to "celebrate" per se, but it's definitely a significant event that deserves to be acknowledged!
I've ordered a GIANT cake with "100" on it to bring to infusion center to share w/the nurses & staff. Some might find that a little odd, but what I found "odd" was the other day when they were singing & clapping to another patient who finishing up treatment & having her last dose of chemo...and that was #6 for her!
Now, as a (almost)7 yr Stage IV'er, I know there may never be a "last dose" for me, but don't I deserve a song too when I get my 100th dose?
Many have asked if I've ever heard of anyone having so much chemo...Truth be told, I don't know, nor do I want to know!
1dose, 10 doses or 100 doses, we do what we have to survive, endure & thrive in the face of this disease!
I have much to celebrate - the return of NED, my 100th dose w/only 5 more to go, then back to Herceptin solo. (hmm...don't even know how many rounds of Herceptin I've had...certainly 100+, but who's counting?) and all of you!

Keep the Faith, ladies (& gents)~
We are changing the face of the Stage IV Survivor!

Its strange you brought this up. I thought the same thing the other day when I was having my Herceptin infusion. Like you, I will have to continue with the Herceptin for a while.

Wow! Hats off to you! Your positive spirit and intention to win comes shining through this post! This is so inspiring and motivating for me since it is hardly been a year since my fight began and every ache or pain makes me worry and wonder if it is back.

But again, your post is inspiring that life can go on even with Stage IV and human endurance is tremendous!

Lots of love,

Right on!
You definitely deserve the celebration - having the resolve to go sit in that chair again..and again...and again...as many times as it takes is a challenge in itself. My question is, how in the world did you actually count it all?

Wow, you are amazing. I love your spirit and your determination. Congratulation on being NED. Here's to NED for a long, long time (or lets just say forever).

You certainly do deserve a party! You are an amazing warrior! How did your party turn out? I wish I could have been there to celebrate with you. My spirits are lifted just by reading your post. Thank you for sharing with us, and for being such an inspiration. Hugs, TriciaK

I believe you have EVERY right to celebrate. You are one amazing person and deserve to sing and be proud of how far you have come. I'm celebrating with you (cyber hugs).

Carpe Diem!

wow!!!!!!!!! and all this time i was thinking if i have to go through another chemo,(god forbid, if there is a recurrence) i would never do it (i have finished all my 8 chemos)but after hearing from you , i now feel that we must never give up, and do whatever we can to fight this nasty cancer. Thanks for making me more brave. God bless you

No question that you deserve a party!!!!!! I hope it was a wonderful party!!! You have an amazing spirit and are an inspiration to us all.
