Chemo #12 out of 12! Done & Done!

I did it! I completed 12 out of 12 rounds of chemo!! Tracy went with me again. Radiation first, 25 out of 30 and chemo #12. My platelets and white blood cell count were low again, but the doctor let me to go ahead and get my last round of chemo. Wahoo! I will have to come in every day again to get the neupragen shot to boost my white blood cell count and help my immune system to bounce back. I didn’t even have a reaction to the Carboplatin, (cancer drug)! The nurse said most people get a saturation point and can’t handle any more. I didn’t! The American Fork office doesn’t have a bell to ring when patients finish their treatment, like some cancer centers do, so I just told everyone I was done with chemo and ringing a ‘virtual bell’ as a victory cry! They just laughed at me and wished me well.

Tonight to celebrate, we had a Google Hang-Out Session with Ashley, Chad, Tyler & Andrea, my mom & dad, Kathy and Maddie. It was fun to celebrate together and just catch up on each other’s lives. My family means everything to me!
