  • Finished with Chemo

    Yesterday was my last Bleo shot and I met with the doc who says I'm officially ready for surveillance. Hooray!

    Thanks again for all the advice and tips that people have shared, and especially encouraging me to move quickly early on. It really helped me establish the right mental attitude and let the doctors know I was going to be an active participant in getting well. It's terrific that you guys who know so much about this disease are willing to share with others. It also made a huge difference to be able to come here for information and doublecheck what I was being told as I made some difficult decisions.

    I'm waiting now for my tired old body to start recovering from all the side effects of the chemo drugs, but even with all the nausea, etc. it's wonderful to feel like it's finally over.
