It's been a while since I last posted, sorry about the delay. For all wondering, I am doing well now. Much better than last week. I will have to say, this last chemo was rougher than the others. I felt nauseous, and just not right. It took longer to feel normal again, about a week and 1/2. Mostly, the nausea was the worst of it. Ugh. I'm totally not looking forward to the next 2 infusions. My last infusions. I'll get through them, I know I have to, but the anticipation of it all is what makes me dread them. I can taste the medicine and smell it. Ugh. And forget about ever eating or shopping at Whole Foods ever ever again. Chemo has ruined that for me. We've had lunch there for all of my chemo treatments. Looks like I'll have to find another place.

I have my PET scan scheduled for Wednesday the 28th, the day before my 5th chemo. The dr will have the results then, and will be able to tell me if this is all working. I believe it is, I have no more bumps in my neck, at all. So... Let's hope and pray that this confirms this, and I can say that I am in remission! It will make the last 2 chemo treatments more manageable.

Christmas is 4 days away, and then we have the new year. Don't know about you all, but I am ready for this year to be OVER! On to a better year for all! I have a lot to do in 2012, beating cancer and saying "bye" forever is #1 ;).

Merry Christmas to all! I will update as soon as I can after my scan and chemo. In fact, I will post as soon as I get my results on Thursday morning, the 29th. So, stay tuned!

  1. You only have two more left, Jenny! And they're working...I know you're going to get a really good report. :)
    I can imagine how weird the smell thing is, and the Whole Foods thing. But you only have TWO MORE left. Keep hanging on...

  2. I know you will get good news on the 29th....December 29th was the day Laci was first diagnosed back in 2004. She'll be seven years out a couple of weeks later, and seven is lucky....my logic is fuzzy here, but I KNOW you'll be in remission! I just know it. :)
