Re: Final chemo!
Thank you everyone.
Just getting through the chemo I am so happy. I know I still face multiple challenges in the near future but this is one down!
I am so blessed to have family and friends to help me along with great health insurance. A job that is willing to hold not only my position at work with temp workers but will continue to keep my seniority until MD releases me some time in January 2015. Tomorrow I am going in for another Ct scan before surgery in June. Praying that it is good. I am currently stage 3 . I pray for no metastisis . Last ct md saw 3mm nodule on lung but assured me it was bening. Also a cyst (old on ovaries ) ... So a prayer I say. I have gotten this far.
Again thank you all. And as always a prayer out to this board!!!!
