Well, Tomorrow is my LAST chemotherapy. I cannot believe it! I am so happy about that, and scared at the same time. It is a weird "safe" feeling while on chemo. Cancer is being killed and rid from the body. So when it stops.. did it get it all? Will it start growing again?? My faith in God is truly what keeps me from going nuts!
After tomorrow, all my doctor appts will start. I have many. 7-10 days after chemo I am safe to get out into the world again!! :)... so I will be at the Salon at some point after that period!! Wahoooooo!
The meeting with the Rads Oncologist went well. They will not know if I need rads until after surgery and the Pathology comes back on the nodes. I pray ALL THE NODES ARE CLEAR !!!!!! If not, radiation for 6-7 weeks. I did, however, tell the oncologist I will NOT be tattooed with those little "dots" if I need rads. He said.... get this.... " NO PROBLEM"... we will mark you with markers. He said he will stand behind my request! Wahoooooooooo..... I wonder how many women fight that... everyone I know got the tattoo marks.. poor ladies probably did not know they could demand what they did or did not want. I don't want marks on my body to remind me of this year in my life.... no thanks!

Well, off to finish Christmas decore!!!! Sent Todd and Tay to WALMART after Church to get some stuff for me...LOL... poor guys.. they HATE Walmart... but love little ole' me....:)
Thank you for all your support during these 5 months of Chemotherapy! I am truly blessed!
Gods Love,
Laura
