All done!

I received my last chemo tratement today. I had to be there for 8:20 and I was out at 1:30. It went well. I didn't sleep as much this time, but instead would doze and wake and just kinda' absorb the moment. So many thoughts and feelings --- some good, some bad. I'm relieved, I'm confused, I'm anxious, I'm hopeful.

Tomorrow I go in for 10:30 for my Neulasta shot, my mom is going to go with me.

My son.....is just the most amazing little guy. They are doing a project in his kindergarten class where they are hatching baby chicks in an incubator. Today during their lunch one of them hatched from his shell. He said that Mrs. Lundergan saw it happening and all the kids watched and cheered the chick on while it emerged from it's egg. And my son says "mommy I saw it's egg-tooth!" he was SO excited. I love to see how happy and intrigued he is with school.

While we were on the phone tonight (he called me from his dad's to say goodnight) I said "Guess what buddy?" and he said "What????!!!!" and I said "Mommy had her last dose of medicine today, I'm all done and my hair will start coming back!" he was so happy and excited. And he even told me that when I'm tired and he is with me that it's ok that we go to bed early. What a sweety! Of course, that is much easier said then done, but it's the thought that counts!!

I was speaking with a relatively new friend tonight who asked what my ex is like - as in, was he helpful with Jake and supportive of me during this time. My response, with no hesitation was "My ex is a wonderful man. If he wasn't, I would not have married him."

Thanks for checking in. I have the predictable after-chemo headache so I'm heading to bed to relax.

p.s. The P.A. at Dr. Hammond's office thinks it will take 6 to 8 weeks for the infection from the port to clear up but that it is looking better.
