Finished with chemo and radiation!!

Karen and I met with Dr. Levandosky on Friday. He felt that I had enough of the chemo and said that my treatment was over. I thought about it for a millisecond, and had to agree! It has been 4 weeks since my last treatment. My neuropathy is much better now, actually it is almost completey gone. I still have an upset digestive tract, nothing bad, mostly annoying.

I am getting my port out on Wednesday. So I am off of the blood thinner till Friday. Then one month of the blood thinners before I can quit taking it. They told me that they will numb up the area around the port, make an incision, get a hold of it, and pull it out. I will let you know how it goes. On Thursday I have a check up with my surgeon June George.

I will be having my follow up colonoscopy and CatScan in April.

I am relieved to have finished the chemo and radiation, it was a long summer. I will continue with my support group and all of my annual check ups. I hope that I will stay cancer free for the rest of my life. It is well worth the battle and would do it again if I had too. I do hope that someday they can find a less toxic treatment.

It has snowed a lot here lately and I have been able to enjoy some snow biking. I am a little out of shape and I fatigue quicker than normal. I have managed 60 miles since the snow hit the ground, so hopefully I can get back in shape and put on lots of miles this winter. :)
