So on Thursday I got great news, the following day was going to be my last treatment and I am cancer free, 11 months and 17 cycles DONE WAHOOOOO!!!!!!!
So on Friday I decided to make my last treatment special. I asked my friend Ashley to come along she has been outstanding through my whole process. I also decided to take a cake. I got one big enough to share, and had 17 cycles written on it.
We got to the hospital and when my name was called for treatment the nurse laughed, cause I was crazy happy to be there and she knew why. I got all plugged in and chemicals running. The nurse got me a trolley and with chemical poll in tow, Ashley and I went around the ward and gave out cake. I got to share my day with everyone there. Chatted with everyone some even asked questions. I was so happy I got to do that, cancer is not just about me. It's about all of us. Cancer touches far to many lives and I would like to think one afternoon we smiled and cancer wasn't so bad.
I now move forward and work on recovery. Only thing left is surgery to have the port taken out of my chest. Fingers crossed, it will be out my Christmas.
Oh of course I had my Ride to Conquer Cancer jersey on, every single treatment my jersey(s) have been with me. I know that everyone who rode, was with me in spirit and I drew on all that positive energy. Also strangely, every single treatment I HAD AMAZING SUNSHINE. It made a huge difference to be able to sit in the sun, more positive energy. I asked all my friends to stand in the sunshine for a few minutes on treatment days and think positively, even more positive energy.
Still dealing with side affects and I still have lots to blog about, but moving forward.
I WILL FIGHT FOR ME

Almost Last Treatment
As I approach my last treatment it has been a long road and the side effects have been the full range.
What I struggle with the most now is being tired. When I get really tired I can't even think, I even lose my words. I know them in my head but have no idea how to get them out. It is incredibly frustrating. When I run out to steam I am really done.
Today is my last treatment, so going forward working on recovery. I want to be strong and healthy, and fingers crossed not so tired.
I WILL FIGHT FOR ME
