Chemo Status: 8 of 8 almost done!
Mid-infusion right now. Which means mid-Benadryl blur. So all I have to say is I’M ALMOST DONE WITH THIS STAGE OF TREATMENT!!!’
Next up: Surgery on May 9th to replace temporary expander that was removed in December due to infection. Then, as soon as sufficiently healed, I will start my 6 weeks of radiation. Hoping and praying to be done with that by August. Finally, 6 months later I will have my final reconstruction surgery. Many steps to go, but maybe the worst one will be done today (with the side effects the worst this week and fading away over the next few weeks hopefully).

Sure hoping this is where the downhill portion begins!!
Yay! I just walked by your office door and was tickled by your picture with the kids. Then I remembered this was the day of the final chemo treatment and got even happier.
Congratulations on completion of this huge and difficult process, and the beginning of the next phase to get this all done. Now, sleep it off and get ready for random company - time for a surprise visit again! (Don't worry - not soon...)
