While this post’s title has been a common “Tuesday status” for me (on Facebook), I never thought it would apply to getting chemo. Today might be more than just a little sideways, as I am having my 10th chemo treatment today, and it’s the 140th day since the chemo started.
This week, Thursday and Friday will DEFINITELY take too long, but I will feel better on Saturday! (I know I say something like that every time I write a post about my chemo treatment, but it’s a HUGE deal. Every single time.) In addition to looking forward to Saturday, I’m also setting my sights on the ‘end’ of treatment.
Today will be chemo 10 of 12, so we are on the home stretch. After today, I will have only TWO MORE treatments, on Dec 14 and 28, and then I should be DONE with chemo!
When we reached the halfway point of chemo, Jacqui commented that, ‘It’s like climbing a mountain. Halfway up gets you to base camp. The second half getting to the top is the harder part.’
Since then, we’ve realized that coming back down will br difficult as well. With my low neutrophil counts, I’ll have to continue to not be around people very much for a month or two while my body rebuilds and gets healthy again. It will be hard, and it has been/will be a long road, but it will be for the best. We will succeed.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, tomorrow I WILL feel better just for spite.
