Into the last stretch

Yes I had my chemotherapy on Friday - all the good chants and songs for a higher blood count worked! I got the call that chemo was on and with great enthusiasm packed my bag for a day of 'relaxation'. One try on my left hand vein - no go - so the drip went into my arm but it is clear that the veins on that side are ruined. Next and last time will be on my right hand. Thanks for all of you who kept thinking of the golden honey flowing through ...

Some fatigue and yukki taste in my mouth and all is well.

I fly to Johannesburg this afternoon for a day's work tomorrow, one more  work day after that and then it is holiday time!! Yay! My last chemo session is supposed to be on January 4th and then a month following that I will have a scan to see the state of the liver.

My brain is very fuzzy, not much coherent thinking going on, but always the spirit of appreciation for your consistent and loving support, and for the mystery of life itself.

  1. SOOO happy you were able to do the chemo after all on Friday. Well done! Smooth honey, yes! Easy flow and ease, yes! Large, presenting veins, yes! Glad the right ones seem available for next time, so hopefully that will eliminate one of those prep challenges. In any case, I continue to love, bless and be with you and Steve in this large universe that you know and experience each day. with love, Deanne
