On Tuesday I had chemo infusion 12 of 12. I'm kind of still in disbelief that I might be done with all of this bullshit. I'm not letting my guard down, though, until I get my final PET scan results and my doctor says the word "remission." That appointment is in 2 weeks. ::sigh:: Can't come soon enough.
On Monday I started getting a scratchy throat and began internally cursing. I was hoping that it was just from the high pollen counts but it felt more like a cold. No fever and the part of my immune system that deals with cold viruses is fully functional, but I was so afraid that having a cold might be something that would cause them to postpone my final chemotherapy infusion. I could not handle that. Just wanted to be DONE. Woke up Tuesday and it was most definitely a cold. Throat was sore, stuffy/runny nose, but no fever. Crap. I had a moment where I decided I just wouldn't tell anyone that I was feeling sick in case speaking up meant putting off chemo for a few days. In the grand scheme of things, a few days is nothing but...well, with this, it's also an eternity. Turned my big girl brain back on and told mum and Aaron, to keep me accountable once at my appointment. So close to the end of this and it would be pretty damn stupid to do something potentially reckless. Thankfully, having a cold was no big thing. Phew. And my favorite nurse administered my chemo and gave me a hug at the end, which was so sweet.
Saw the guy that looked like a young, tall Woody Allen again. Also, someone who looked like the lovechild of Jimmy Stewart and Christopher Walken. Strange combination.
Oh, and my doctor is apparently more badass than previously thought. He's going on an African safari type trip with his kids (not in the Ebola-y part of Africa). I've only ever seen him in a suit, so the idea of him in adventure-type gear makes me giggle and is kind of adorable.
This is not a bad cold but I am so full of snot.
I'm also a bit behind in reading you guys. I'll catch up, eventually. I has the sleepy, so probably not now.
I had more things to write about, but a snack and some TV watching sounds really appealing right now. And maybe a nap. Mmm...sleep.
