I am so excited to finally be finished with the chemo part of this journey. Yesterday was a long day my appointment was for 9:30am and we did not leave until 5pm. They had such a difficult time accesing my port. It was terrible finally i told them to stop I could not take another try. (I am usually a tough cookie but OMG) Then an angel nurse came in and was able to do it 123. Then she was able to flush it but was not get any blood return had to inject a med to break up the protien build up inside the port ( that had to sit in for an hour). But I did this with a smile knowing this will be the last week of feeling like crap from the chemo. I am looking so foward to my hair growing back and for my 2 little girls to not have to see mommy so sick.
I just wanted to let anyone just starting out in this journey. It does get better with time. I did not want to believe it myself but it does get better. You are stronger then you know and you will get through this. There were quite a few times during the chemo I was so depressed but Like a lovely lady on the boards told me "keep putting one foot in front of the other" It helped so much. I no that I still have a long road ahead Herceptin for the year and Radsfor6 weeks butit feels so good to put another check on the list.
Thank you to all on this board! you all make it so much easier to get through this even thoughI do not post that often I am always reading.
