130, 131, 132.....can almost touch completion

But you know what they say....almost only counts horseshoes and hand grenades. So I am still not done....it is getting closer.
Last week was a bit difficult, after working only 3 days at work and side effect days at home for 9 months, I started working all 5 days at work. I knew it would be a little difficult to get back into the swing of things, but with the strength of God and a good husband that makes sure I get to bed early enough. I made it through the week. I know it will get easier as time goes on.
132 down.....only 12 to go!!!!!

127, 128, 129......getting closer

Well this last week came and went and that means one more week closer to being finished. I went to my Oncologist Thursday. I am doing pretty well, still a bit of anemia, but I have had that all along. Thank goodness for Mike, he keeps things going around the house so I don't feel too tired.
Just when I think things could never get worse and start feeling sorry for myself, I meet someone else with more troubles than myself. Then I realize just how blessed we are. I know this sounds crazy, but I am so blessed to have gotten Cancer. I have learned so much about God and myself and what is truly important in life. I think we put much too much emphasis on stuff and forget to appreciate the true blessings.
Well I have 5 more weeks and then well I might just celebrate with feeling normal again. Hooray!

124, 125, 126 done.......

I am officially down to 6 weeks of treatment left. I think this will be either the longest 6 weeks, or it will fly by. No medium ground. But I can tell you with the final 6 weeks left. My side effects are pretty manageable. I think I am building a tolerance and changing the times of my injections have been helpful. I seem to experience the worst of my side effects during the night. I only wish the beginning of my treatment had been this manageable.

I still have plenty of muscle aches and fatigue. But it is something I can deal with unlike this past 42 weeks of injections. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!

126 down........18 to go!
