Last Chemo Treatment

Today was my very last treatment! 16 treatments completed! Erik took the day off and came with me like usual. We had breakfast at Denny's, which has become our routine on Thursdays. At noon, my friends and family joined me as I Rang my bell to tell everyone I was done with chemo! Then we went to lunch at Asian City. Overall a very great day! Tomorrow I work and life as I know it changes once again these next two weeks. No lab draws, no weekly chemo, no doctor appointments. Whatever will I do on my days off? Dr. Khoury wants me to have a bone density scan, labs and appt in 2 months, and he wants me to goto the lymphadema clinic for my left arm. But for the next two weeks I'm gonna be a normal healthy person.

Update and Plan for the Future

Met with Dr. Gill on Tuesday and apparently my right expander flipped over and he can't get to the port to do fills. So I'm lucky I have enough loose skin on that side to get any size implant I want in there basically. The left side works but we decided not to fill until after radiation, April 7th is my next appt for a full. I meet with the radiation doctor Dr. Nimi next Tuesday to discuss the next course of action and get an idea in a timeline for radiation. Also need to know if she needs the expanders emptied before radiation. I have two chemos left after today and my bell ringing celebration will be January 22 at Asian City. Can't wait to get done with the weekly lab draws and weekly chemos. It's been good but it's exhausting having to go to the office ever week twice. Good thing I really like the people there! Back to paying copays as its the first of the year. That part stinks. Today at chemo I managed to get some of my CEU modules done for work, my NRP certification. The insomnia, hot flashes, and constipation continue but I am getting thru it.
