A Great Milestone Yesterday


Just wanted to give a quick update while I'm awake and before my Neulasta shot kicks in, that I was indeed able to have chemo yesterday for the last time. I am thrilled, to say the least. I had a pre-chemo nausea this time and a terrible migraine last night--followed by some insomnia--but am just sleepy today and battling the usual acid reflux.

I'm in high spirits, knowing this is a huge milestone. I figure at some point in the next ten days I'll feel great again and life can go back to normal for a while.

In four weeks I have a check up with my oncologist to talk about the next steps (daily pills and reconstruction and hopefully genetic testing). But I should have a good chunk of time this fall to enjoy being well again before surgeries start.

Thanks for your prayers, good deeds and just plain hanging in there with us. We love you!

Hooray, Tamer! You are such a champ & did so well with the craziness of summer, chemo, & being Michael Stipe's lookalike. Hooray! Can't wait to celebrate. Which we will. I love you.
