Well this Thursday is my last chemo treatment and I was really considering not doing it. Last treatment (#11) I had a fever for like 4 days afterward and pretty much felt terrible. Also the veins in my left arm are really getting a bit sore. My right arm has a nice 6 inch blood clot in one of the veins. I had an ultrasound done and it seems to be ok. It will disspate on its own but I guess it will take a few months.
So anyway, my scan results from a couple weeks back are good. They showed me the before and after and there is a very noticeable difference in the size of the mass in my chest. I really didnt know exactly what I was looking at but the doctor said she was very pleased and surprised by the results. Thats a good thing.
So one more treatment this week and hopefully my arm and body hold up and everything goes smoothly. Next will be another CT and PET scan followed by a couple weeks of radiation. The doc says the radiation is pretty low dose and the side effects are minimal. Maybe a sore throat she says. I hope it all goes well and I can be finished just before we move into the house on the 25th of April!!
Thats pretty much all Sarah and I can think about right now. We are both very excited and maybe a bit overwhelmed by the money we have to spend to furnish and outfit the house. Luckily Uncle Sam has a nice incentive this year for first time homebuyers.
Sorry for the lack of pictures on here. I was hoping to make it a bit more multimedia.....oh well. I'll try to get some on here soon. Hope everyone is well. Take care.
