I have my followup CT scan today. I’m currently forcing down 32 ounces of Barium liquid.
All this technology and they couldn’t make this taste better? I think the creator took barium, sidewalk chalk and battery acid, mixed it all up, then threw a skittle in at the end.
I think I’m supposed to have it finished by now, but I’m writing this post instead. Ugh.
They should really put this stuff on Chopped. See what those chefs can do with this crap in their mystery basket.
I know I haven’t updated… i got to ring the bell last week!!!! 🛎️ Definitely pretty emotional and a feeling so completely indescribable unless you’ve been through it yourself.
So thankful for my parents for randomly flying down to be there with us! They are awesome!!!!! I seriously have the best parents in the world. They couldn’t even come into the infusion center the whole time and had to alternate turns because I was only allowed one person at a time. So much of the time was spent with them in the lobby.
When it came time to ring the bell, they let them pop in and watch, which was awesome.
Officially graduated!!!!
What’s Next
I’m trying not to “celebrate” too early, because anything can happen. But I look forward to updating with good news!!!
On October 20th, I get re-scanned to see how everything worked. Then on October 30th, I have an appointment with my oncologist to go over results and find out if I’m in remission. 🤞🏼
Getting through this hopeful last week of post-chemo pain/nausea. It’s been pretty much the same as usual. All over pain, but especially leg bone pain. And I had a pretty bad bout of feeling nauseous over the weekend in the car. Robert had to keep telling me, “we’re almost home, we’re almost home, we’re almost home”.
I’ve been so wrapped up in chemo appointments, followup appointments, quarantining myself from big crowds, staying away from sick people, dealing with pain and nausea, my new job, kids, dogs, the whole nine yards. I can’t wait to just breathe.
We are planning a camping trip next weekend to finally get to do something. And by camping I mean glamping in an RV pretty close to home, but hey, I’ll take what I can get right now, it’s something!! And it’s so very needed!
