Pre chemo Synergy & Rogan's breakfast
Well it was a lively day from the start. We went to the gym and then off to Rogan's for Breakfast. Bill wants a disclaimer that this is a post workout early morning hat head look. I have crazy hair so I don't care. Without my port for the last infusion the initiation was different. I got my blood drawn from the area down closer to my wrist. That way they could use my upper forearm for the IV. I got woozy after blood draw. Hadn't felt like that since the time I got my ears pierced. Oy! Got a rest in the phelbotomy chair then back out to the puzzle table. (They got a new Ann Geddes one! I've done all the others...) I was on the schedule for Lisa and Sarah today. Sarah was my original nurse from the beginning Oncology meeting. Lisa is the other half of the wonderful team of she and Dr. Hammond. Everything went well. I can't really explain what a year of this has been like. Leaving today I feel good. Bill and I were a little emotional once we were by ourselves. I think it was both the release of the completion of this phase, and I think for both of us it was some residual saddness of this year. We both still are steadfast in our committment to moving ahead. Now that chemo is past us new phases to complete. I move on to an MRI in October and then if all is well, reconstruction is the next piece. I'd like to have it done as an early Christmas present. We'll see. I hold all of you close to me and I know you'll all be with me as I enter the next big phase. My amazing medical team has kept me going with good drugs, the best of plans, and the most wonderful treatment delivered by the most wonderful people. At the end of the day - today - I remain fortunate to have my family, my friends and my medical team to keep me going.
