My great plans for how to write through this journey have fallen by the wayside. Here it is the first week of March and I have not updated for several weeks. This chemo stuff is certainly "cumulative". Of course you hear that - read that - know that - but living with that is quite different.
I completed the last session of the "big chemo" this past Monday. I am now going to continue with the immunotherapy infusions every three weeks for the next 8 months. But the ongoing side effects from the two chemo drugs I have completed will not continue with me. That is good news.
I meet with my surgeon next week to determine surgery and then after recovery from that it will be on to radiation. I am planning to have these invasive treatments completed by the end of May or as close to that as possible.
I had a couple transfusions to help with the anemia and I will probably get another one in a week or so. That does some help. It is quite a journey. I think I would have rather read about it than experienced it for sure. But, it is what it is.
I have the help of wonderful friends and family and that is a blessing. The weather is getting warmer here and there and that brings great joy of renewal. So it is onward.
Maybe more info with the making, loved ones and treatment stuff next week. For now, this will have to do.
