NO MORE CHEMO! I can't believe it! Dr. Nibley told me since i am having such a high dose of radiation i no longer need chemotherapy. I think i cried for and hour. Tears of joy. Now all I have to do is make it through the three more internal radiations.
Today we went to Dr. Jolles to talk about my never ending period. He told me i should start an estrogen therapy, not a progesterone, to help the bleeding stop. Did you know taking too much estrogen can cause uterine cancer? Wow, what in this world won't cause cancer? Kind of makes me want to move to a farm and live off the fat of the land, the land that doesn't have cancer. If anyone knows where this cancer less land is, please let me know.
I still am tired and rundown but i am in better spirits. I can see the end of all this treatment. My port is uncomfortable, i can't get used to a foreign object in my body, which is funny because i have always wanted fake boobs, guess I'm not a good candidate for fake stuff in my body. Anyway, I don't know how I'm going to get used to working out with a port, this port maybe short lived. I guess I need to give it more time and let it "grow" on me. Gross.
Thanks for reading my ramblings and I hope you will stick with me to the end. It's not too much longer. We hope to have a big celebration party when there is"no evidence of the disease". I can't wait! Thanks to Esther for our yummy dinner tonight! Oh and I can't eat salads for the next two months, too much roughage. Love you all!
