The Chemo Coaster ENDS..Let the RIDE OF my LIFE BEGAN!!

WOW, YES, I MADE IT, I DID IT..I AM DONE!!  NO MORE TAXOL EVER!!!!!!!!!!! :))))


Yes, I wrote it..Last week was my last Taxol EVER, the doc says 11 treatments of that was enough, as the neuropathy  is not going away and will reverse itself it may take up to a year to do so.. Dec 10th ( exactly  6 months to the day of my diagnosis) it will be Herceptin only, no more Nupegen shots on Sat and Sunday..SO I am FREEEEEEEEE..It won't sink in till this Sat when I can wake up and not have to get up and get a shot in the arm (figures  the week my arm turns numb the damn shots stop)  I am happy, just saying..


The worst part is OVER, OVER I made it..I do not have to see the doc again until the 5th of Jan..He does want to do a Herceptin treatment in January as he does not want me to go 2 months without any treatment, I will have my Echo, Mammo, U/S, and another PET scan (that is the worst one mentally for me as it is the one that test's to see if cancer spread to any other organs) but that is later..and it will be fine just as the last one..


So, Herceptin on the 10th of Dec, big break, surgery, heal, then Herceptin every 3 weeks for a total of a year  from the start of it which was Sept 24th, 2010(12 of those since he is doing one the at the start of Jan.) which is the only therapy for me to prevent the cancer from coming back..Wish there was a pill I could take but at least there is something out there for women like me..But it won't take a toll on my body like the Taxol did.  


I am just in AWE of everything, I just cannot put it into words, but here is a link of how I am feeling..:)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNH2iF5AQmE

The last 6 months have been the shortest (meaning that it has gone by so quick) , yet seemed like forever,  with the most changes mentally,physically, spiritually that I ever want to go through..But I have strength and endurance that I never thought I had..Thanks for reading my blogs, it won't end here just will be on a different chapter, as I really do like to write, I just want to write on a subject that I choose, not one that has been chosen for me! Your love and support has helped me through this more then you will know, I am blessed and so grateful for all the love and support that surrounds me everyday :)))))  The picture is a shell I found a few years ago on Sanibel Island (shell island) with thousands of shells and this one was smiling at me, no I did nothing to the shell this is how I found it, or maybe it found me..As I was a server at the time, and signed all my checks with a smiley face..


I am on the other side..and am here TO STAY!!!!!! Cancer can KISS MY ASS!!!!!!!
