Can't touch this!

After 12 weeks I am done with chemo...

mic drop!


No more weekly blood tests, no more chemo day pill taking regime. [4 drugs, 7 pills, some with food, some no food, 1 exactly 1 hour before chemo]

I got greeted by my chemo Nurse Jenny today with a giant balloon animal from Margo and Patsy delivered to the Cancer Centre. Little bit of vein hiding again but Jenny got one and plain sailing from there. 

The MC Hammer song popped into my head as I was leaving and I did a little happy dance sitting in my car before I drove off. 

I am back next week for Herceptin only, it is still thru a vein but it will only take about 40 minutes, and then that's just once every 3 weeks until April 2017

On Tuesday I have an appointment with the radiation specialist and to have a CT scan so they can start their calculations for zapping me. I'll still have 3-4 weeks break after today before I get started on the next phase.

I have high expectations that my energy will be back to normal within a week and I'm aiming to get back up the Mount next weekend. Then again I used to say "We'll be biking to the Mount and running up it in no time" so stop laughing now Kaye M!

Not sure how I'll go with being back to the normal routine, 3 day weekends have been great, even if I haven't been able to do much. But OMG excellent timing with Wimbledon on, I have had the best excuse ever for lazing on the couch and binge watching tennis recorded from the night before. 

I am feeling great, hope I don't jinx myself but feeling incredibly lucky not a single vom in 12 weeks. I just have to put up with a bit of feeling tired the next few days which is nothing. Also tried some great shampoo and conditioner my sister Shirley got me from Aussie "FarmaVita - Kliss" and while the itch hasn't gone completely it is much better

I've had lots of messages and words of encouragement and dinners with the family this week and more gifts delivered by Mum and the TGA sisters today so feeling very spoilt.

Last chemo!

this strange animal
