Fifty one weeks down and one to go. Next Tuesday is my last 'chemo' treatment and I am really ready to be done. My hands hurt from all the cracks and openings caused by the drug. I have about 20 on each hand. My face, chest and back are all broke out but it's a step up from acne. Also caused by the drug. The fatigue comes in waves and it is a constant battle to keep the diarrhea in check. I'm not meaning to complain just reporting that I am tired of it all and ready to be done. This has been a two year adventure for me and I really sympathize with those folks whose battles have been or are going on longer.
There is good news. The numbers from my last blood test look really good. Hopefully, prayerfully, they will stay that way.
Except for the 3 weeks they gave me to recover after liver surgery, I have been in a medical facility every week for a year. I am looking forward to six weeks of freedom.
One more treatment. The end of the tunnel is just around the bend.
God is good all the time!!
