This morning I noted it on Instagram - I’m now in the countdown for my final FOLFOX chemo treatment!
-
7 days until my 12th and final infusion begins (this is when I’ll celebrate because I’ll be feeling decent after the plug-in…I hope, anyway…sometimes I feel super drunk after they plug me in, so we’ll see what happens).
-
10 days until my 12th disconnect (this is when I’ll crash and burn and fall over with gratitude that it’s finally over).
Of course, I’ll have to get scans in mid-October to see where we are with this fucking stuff and I’ll go to the cancer center and see Hot Onc every three months for three years, but man…this chemo has been the hardest undertaking of my life so far.
I’m thrilled to be counting this last one down.
Also, fuck cancer. I’m sad to hear of Norm MacDonald’s passing at 61. This scares me and at the same time makes me consider what I want to do with the rest of my life.
AND, to everyone: PLEASE get screened. You do NOT want to go through this, I promise.
Anxiously,
GS
