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!
