My last chemo treatment went well today as I was medicated with steroids that kept away any adverse reactions. And…I got to ring the chemo bell announcing my last chemo treatment. But there is still the roller coaster ride that was unexpected.
My surgery has been re-scheduled as high priority. Instead of February 11, 2014, the new date for my mastectomy is January 28, 2014. Because I am still on Filgrastim shots, my white cell count should be up high enough by then (God-willing). My oncologist and my surgeon have a difference in opinion in how far to take the surgery so I won’t find out the outcome until the day of surgery.
My last chemo is this Thursday, January 16th, 2014. The tradition is that when you finish your last chemo, you get to ring the bell. I will be ringing the bell for good, God-willing.
My surgery is tentatively scheduled for February 11th. It will be a mastectomy. I am looking forward to getting back to normal!
