Chemo, Round 6 - LAST ONE!!

YeHaw! Last chemo for me today!!


I woke up this morning with mixed emotions. Yes, it is my last chemo and I'm incredibly happy it's almost over. But, I'm also acutely aware of my new reality and it's never going to be the same as it was before - not that "same" is good, just that I've lost that youthful innocence that makes life more exciting.

Gonna be a tough week. Thankful to have help again via sister-in-law, Lisa. I'm incredibly blessed to have so many people who care coming into town to step in for me and my family. Love you guys SO MUCH!

On another note, the Infusion Room is ROCKING today! Lots of napping old timers around me. And, I think the Cookie Lady has a crush on the old man next to me, she's offered him cookies twice and me NONE. Hmmmm.... gonna have to do something about that.

  2. That is a great hat! See?? Warrior!! You are in an infusion room surrounded by cancer patients, cleverly and "wittily" (is that a word?) blogging to us about the cookie lady, (whose photo would have made quite a splash on the blog - I know this because I was able to see her in person), and her crush on a fellow patient. You are great! Such an example to all of us! And your picture . . . super cute! I know you are sick now from the chemicals. Hoping this week passes quickly for you and the nasty taste in your mouth is gone FOREVER - and the nasty cancer too! Eternally loving you from Alabama XXOO.

  3. Tasha - I tried to get a picture of the cookie lady, but she left before I thought of it :( I'm certain she was just trying to chase down her crush, my neighbor!
