Almost the end!
Sorry for the lack of posting! It is now December 16th. After I had my petscan on November 1st, I received good news from the doctor. He called me a few days later to tell me that it came back clear! No tumor in sight! I was so happy!
When I went to my ninth chemo, I had an appointment with the doctor. I was a little confused by what he meant by everything being "clear". I asked and he said......that I was in remission! That's right, REMISSION! I felt so overjoyed! So many emotions going on! I felt like I was on top of the world, I had actually beat cancer! Although I was in remission, the doctor wanted to finish out the remaining therapies just in case there were any cells still floating around.
At this very moment, I've had my eleventh chemo and on Wednesday, December 18th, I will have my twelfth AND FINAL chemo! I've waited six months for this! It went by slow at times but also fast. I couldn't truly ask for a better Christmas gift!
So what happens now? I will see the doctor every 2-3 months for the first 2-3 years. For the last 3-5 years, I will see the doctor every 6 months. I'll have a physical exam and CT scans. (no more petscans, yay!). I've kept life as normal as I could for the past 6 months...but now it will really go back to normal. Hair growth, back to work, no more feeling always tired!
There's one special lady I'd really like to acknowledge in my blog - my mother. My mom has been my rock during this journey. I truly don't know what I would do without her. She came to every chemotherapy, every doctor appointment, every scan...she has been by my side every step of the way (even times when I was a total crab!). In times of weakness, she was strong for me. She gave me strength to get through this. I will be forever grateful for her. I can't imagine my life without her, she is my angel! Thank you, Mom! I love you more than you will ever know.
This isn't the end though. I will definitely continue to post pics, especially since I can start growing some hair now! Thank you for everyone who has supported me throughout this time. My family, friends, and my Scribes family. I love each and every one of you. I am so grateful to have such wonderful people in my life. I couldn't have made it without you guys. As for now, I'm outtie! Thanks for reading and joining me, every step of the way! :)
