Re: last chemo tomorrow!
Congrats to both of you from me, too. BIG accomplishment! It's been a year since I finished my TCH and I now have a full head of soft, curlier, darker hair (different but wonderful), no cancer, radiation burns fully healed and almost invisible, port gone and I'm on my way to Uruguay for some dance teacher training! You'll be amazed how quickly your life will change and improve when the drugs are done. I'm so proud of you both, for getting through it and being brave enough to be honest and share with us how you feel and what's happening. Together we can fight and survive. Now it's obvious isn't it why they give you this many treatments? It'd be impossible to tolerate any more!
Love, Celeste
