Was up early today...can't wait for chemo to be over!!
I was up around 4 once again...guess I was wanting go go go..get it done done done??
Left alarm go off at 5:50 so Den could sleep in..
Out of house by 6:05..Hardees for food fuel for Den..I had coffee as already had bagel earlier.
Took large ice cream pail full of lovenox needles for Infussion Center to do away with.
Got to Roger Maris at 7..parked van in front and took cake in..Den carried cake, I carried bag with lavender napkins/plates silverware in..back to Infussion Center where we were greeted very warmly..The gal on duty there loved the cake..and was going to put it in staff room for all to see. But first she left it out on counter for everyone who came in could see it..
Went back to waiting room until we could go back to IC at 7:30..
In room 20 again...3rd Friday in a row!!! We like that room..
Millie was nurse this day..she was out front earlier by desk before I went into room and being there were more than one nurse there I said I had question re:brain cancer and breast cancer.
Yes, the nurses confirmed that breast cancer can go to either brain or bone...
Guess that answered that..NOW THIS DOESN'T MEAN THATS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!
There are many women out in the world that are going on many years of being cancer free...
Okay, back to room.
Got IVs going little after 8...got blood withdrawal right away..YEA!!!
Millie said she says a little prayer before she does try and that always helps..we were very pleased w/blood withdrawal as that means on with treatment!!!!
First the premeds again.
Then Taxol and Heceptin last once again..
SO MANY people stopped in to thank us for the cake and ASK WHO MADE IT!!
SO many compliments on taste, texture, design, flavor...MANDY ...YOU CAN BE PROUD!!!
Each and everyone enjoyed the cake..even Denny & I got pieces..
Treatment was over by 10:30 and off we went..
Did leave while lots of nurses were saying CONGRATS on Chemo treatment..so all knew that today was last day!!! Really felt good to walk out..felt like I was walking on water..felt so good..
Had called in last week due to feet being swollen...told it was Taxol (chemo drug) causing this.
Feet feel like your walking on something added to bottom of feet..can ache/get pains in feet..
Told to keep them up as much as possible..these feelings can last for years...and sometimes feet never get back to normal..
Will double check all this out with Drs when I see them next week..
So good to be DONE DONE DONE with CHEMO CHEMO CHEMO
